Details of the successful strike
"Changing the rules of the game: now we’re the ones hunting! For the first time, a Russian Mi-8 helicopter was shot down in mid-air by an SOF ‘deep-strike’ drone," the statement said.
The SOF noted that every mission requires creativity, from the platform’s technical specs to planning and the pilots’ training.
"This mission left the enemy with many questions. The answers are known only to the Mi-8 crew and they won’t be telling," the SOF added.
