Soldiers of the 28th separate mechanized brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign may have damaged an enemy helicopter while destroying a Russian Su-25 attack aircraft.

According to Ukrinform, the 28th Mechanized Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign reported this on Facebook and posted a video.

“On the outskirts of Toretsk, a combined anti-aircraft missile unit of the 28th Brigade and the 57th Separate Tank Division used the Igla to send a Russian Su-25 to permanent parking. The Mi-8 helicopter tried to evacuate the pilot, but failed as well - our FPV calculations of RV and BBpS operators did not allow it to do so,” the statement said.

As a result, the helicopter returned and needs significant repairs, the brigade noted.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, soldiers of the 28th Brigade downed a Russian Su-25 fighter jet in the Toretsk sector of Donetsk region.
