This took place at around 10:00 on 15 July.

The strike was carried out by USF soldiers from the 427th Separate Brigade of USF "Rarog" near the village of Vyazove (Belgorod Oblast).

The USF later explained that the Mi-28, also known as the "Night Hunter," is an attack helicopter designed to engage armored vehicles, ground forces, and low-speed aerial targets. Thanks to its armored cockpit, it can operate under intense fire. The estimated cost of such a helicopter is approximately 18 million U.S. dollars.

"Taking down a helicopter with an FPV drone is a technically challenging task, as the aerial target travels at high speed and changes its course and altitude. On enemy territory, this is even more difficult due to the need to operate under enemy countermeasures and the limited time available for detecting, tracking, and intercepting the target," they emphasized.
