The attack was shown on video.
On August 6, a Russian Mi-28 attack helicopter was shot down in Kursk region. And today a video was published showing that it was shot down by a Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drone. The video appeared almost simultaneously on several public pages and Telegram channels, so it is unknown who showed it first. This is reported by “Militarny”.
A number of Russian propaganda Telegram channels reported that the helicopter was shot down during an operation in Kursk region. Including Alexey Zemtsov (“Voevoda Broadcasts”). He did not specify the specific model, only indicated that allegedly after the defeat the crew managed to divert and land the aircraft.

This is the first such case, which is confirmed by the video pic.twitter.com/on30YCms23
Judging by the video that appeared on social media, the drone flew into the helicopter's rear propeller. Social networks are already calling this “a new milestone in the development of military drones”. It is noted that over the past 24 hours, a Ka-52 helicopter of the Russian army was also destroyed. As a result of a hard landing, it began to burn. The enemy's losses have increased due to the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border, in particular, in the Sumy region. The Russian Armed Forces have begun to use combat helicopters more often for patrolling and shelling the positions of Ukrainian defenders. The losses of these military vehicles have also increased.
