Ukraine Downs Two Russian Helicopters in Drone Strike
Ukrainian military intelligence reported that two Russian helicopters were destroyed in a recent strike using domestically produced Magura V5 naval drones, revising an earlier report of one destroyed and one damaged helicopter. This attack, employing SeeDragon missiles, builds on the drone’s successful track record of striking Russian Black Sea Fleet assets since Summer 2023. The Magura V5, with its substantial range and payload capacity, represents a significant threat to Russian air and naval forces. While independent verification is pending, Russian media acknowledged the loss of two helicopters.
