A helicopter was shot down in the Kharkiv region.

The wreckage of another combat helicopter was discovered by local residents about 30 kilometers from the Russian border and 2 kilometers east of Kharkov. The combat rotorcraft was destroyed by an anti-aircraft missile, apparently a few days ago. At the same time, the damage received by the helicopter probably indicates the fact that a long-range anti-aircraft missile system was used, although this cannot be said unequivocally.

In the photographs presented, you can see the consequences of a helicopter hit by an anti-aircraft missile system of an unknown type. As a result of a direct missile hit, only the nose of the helicopter survived, while the rest of the rotary-wing combat vehicle was destroyed by the missile explosion and subsequent fire.

It is known that the helicopter was shot down near the village of Elitnoye, Kharkiv region, which is approximately 27-30 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border. The fate of the crew is still unknown, however, the damage received by the helicopter indicates that the latter hardly had time to leave the rotary-winged combat vehicle.

Due to critical damage, it is not yet possible to determine the type of helicopter, however, we are definitely talking about a combat-type military helicopter.
