These two Mi-8 helicopters and Su-34 and Su-35 fighters were part of the same air group. The planes were supposed to drop bombs on the territory of the Chernihiv region, and the helicopters were on a safety net. In particular, and to evacuate pilots from Su if the planes were shot down by the Ukrainian military. This was reported by the Russian edition of Kommersant.
However, due to the fall of these aircraft, all the crews died. It is noted that in the city of Klinya during the crash of the Mi-8 helicopter, all three crew members were killed. And in the Unets region, three crew members of the second Mi-8 were killed. Two Su-34 pilots died in the village of Nizhnyaya, and the pilot of the Su-35 became the “two hundredth” in the village of Suretsky Ant.
Meanwhile, the reserve officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrey Kramarov is sure that all planes and helicopters were shot down by “saboteurs” today. He does not exclude that the Russian air defense itself attacked its own air targets.
Let’s be frank: go into one sector and hit four targets at once in it … I don’t know how many shots it takes, ”New Times quotes him as saying.
Recall that May 13 was a real nightmare for Russian military aviation. In the Bryansk region today fell two helicopters and two fighters. Russia is already looking for some “saboteurs” who seem to be involved in the attack on these air vehicles.
