"Night Superhunter" was defeated in the same spot as a couple of days ago.

Soldiers from the 115th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a Russian Mi-28N attack helicopter—sometimes called the “Night Super Hunter”—for the second time in the same same location a Russian Mi-28N attack helicopter, sometimes called the “Night Super Hunter.” This was reported on “Facebook” by the press service of the 115th Mechanized Brigade.

According to the brigade, soldiers from the “Aliens” anti-aircraft missile division once again distinguished themselves. To intercept a Russian military helicopter in the skies over Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, they used a domestically produced VB140 Flamingo aerial drone, which has a range of up to 50 km and can reach an altitude of 4.5 km.

The press service of the 115th Mechanized Brigade posted a video of the “Night Super Hunter” interception on social media. It shows the Ukrainian UAV catching up to the helicopter and attempting to strike its engine. Unfortunately, the recording cuts off just before the explosion.

Just a few days later, in the same area of the Belgorod Region of the Russian Federation, anti-aircraft gunners from the 115th Mechanized Brigade also shot down a Russian Mi-28N helicopter. The entire crew was killed, and the combat helicopter was completely destroyed.
