Russian Military Tactics Cause Destruction in Ukraine
A video circulating on social media shows a Ka-52 Hokum attack helicopter flying over Ukraine with its tail torn apart, possibly due to poor separation of stores or Ukrainian air defenses. The Ka-52's unique configuration, including a coaxial main rotor and crew extraction system, likely saved the two-man crew's lives. The helicopter has sustained heavy losses in the conflict in Ukraine, but has also been used for close air support missions.
