From the first blow: in GUR, the details of the historic knocking down with the drone of two Mi-8 RF-8 RF (video) were revealed

The commander of the special unit "Group 13", whose fighters were knocked down by two Russian helicopters from the Magura V5 sea drone, says that the scouts were purposefully gone to "hunt". The military special forces of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine "Group 13" on December 31 by a rocket from the Ukrainian marine drone Magura V5 for the first time in history was beaten by air purposes.

Two Russian Mi-8 helicopters were destroyed, another was damaged, but was able to reach the airport. As the soldiers managed to perform an unprecedented blow, told the commander of the special unit GUR GRUP 13 with the thirteenth call sign in an interview with TSN. The "thirteenth" noted that during the operation, the intelligence officers purposefully went to "hunt" rather than hiding from enemy screws, as usual. "We went specifically to hunt for air goals.

We were full of inspiration to meet with the enemy," the fighter said. The Russian Federation is forced to constantly patrol the Black Sea with aviation after numerous successful attacks of the Ukrainian military on Russian vessels, so it was necessary to act promptly. "We were shot down. We started working. The maximum we had purely near us is three screws at one point, despite the" drying "that flew there. The helicopter is fast enough.

If you already see it on the camera - just a minute for a minute for To get a favorable position and launch, "the commander explained. According to "thirteenth", the Drone Magura V5 operator was able to hit the Russian helicopter with the first blow.

In the sum we had two destroyed and one damaged," - said the military. The Thirteenth noted that the tactics of working with sea drones had to be written "from scratch" because there was no instructions in which one could read how to use them properly on the battlefield. In addition, Magura V5 has evolved, converted, and over time its opportunities were growing.

"Three times of our capabilities have grown in relation to both weather conditions, and the stock of the course, and in general the quality of the product, the possibility of its equipment," - said the scout. He hopes that Ukrainian fighters will be killed in the marine drones in the near future not only helicopters but also planes.
