An Mi-28 military helicopter that was returning from a combat mission on the border with Ukraine crashed in Russia's Kaluga region on July 25. It is called one of the most effective in Russia. This was reported by AFU colonel and blogger Anatoly Shtefan ‘Stirlitz’ with reference to Russian Z-public pages.
The occupiers call this crew ‘unique’, however, the names of the dead are concealed.
