Ukraine intelligence reports destruction of Russian attack helicopter near Moscow

A Mi-24 attack helicopter was destroyed at the Klin-5 airfield in Moscow Oblast, Russia, according to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR). The incident occurred during the night of 9-10 November.

By eliminating this attack helicopter, Ukraine can limit Russia’s ability to conduct air strikes and provide close air support to ground troops. Mi-24s are also often used to target critical infrastructure and military assets. Destroying them helps protect Ukrainian facilities and resources.

This attack demonstrates Ukraine’s ability to conduct operations deep within Russian territory, far beyond the immediate war zone.

The intelligence agency reports that the helicopter belonged to the 92nd Squadron of the 344th Center for Combat Training and Retraining of Army Aviation Flight Personnel of the Russian Armed Forces.

“For every war crime committed against Ukraine, the occupier will face just punishment,” the HUR stated in its announcement.

The directorate provided no additional details about the circumstances of the helicopter’s destruction or the method used.

The Mi-24 is a Soviet-designed attack helicopter that has been extensively used by both Russian and Ukrainian forces during the ongoing war. It’s equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun in the nose turret, which can fire 4000-5000 rounds per minute

In October, Ukrainian forces destroyed two combat Ka-52 helicopters and one Mi-8 transport-combat helicopter in Kursk Oblast, Russia and also a Russian Mi-8 helicopter in the Kharkiv direction.
