Unlike the overhyped Ukrainian “counteroffensive,” the efforts of the Russian troops are presented by Russia’s Ministry of Defense without much fanfare.
This short video depicts one such episode: a Russian Kamov Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter spots and promptly destroys a Ukrainian armored vehicle that was trying to hide amid foliage in the Zaporozhye region.
The video, filmed from aboard the helicopter, shows a guided missile being launched and subsequently hitting the intended target.
In the background, a pilot can be heard counting seconds until detonation, before confirming that the target has been hit.
