Ukraine destroys Russian helicopters in latest airfield drone strikes
- During the night of June 27-28, Ukrainian drones conducted an attack on the Kirovske airfield in occupied Crimea, destroying several Russian helicopters along with an air defense system.
- This drone strike followed an increase in Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory amid ongoing conflict that began in 2022 and came after unsuccessful talks in Turkiye this month.
- The Security Service of Ukraine reported that their drone attack destroyed several Russian helicopters, including models Mi-8, Mi-26, and Mi-28, as well as a Pantsir-S1 air defense system, while hitting ammunition and drone storage sites, which led to secondary explosions throughout the night.
- The Pantsir-S1 air defense system destroyed is valued at about $15 million, and over 40 Ukrainian drones were reportedly shot down during the attack and following hours, according to Russian defense sources.
- The attack represents part of Ukraine's broader effort to disrupt Russian aerial operations, while political negotiations continue without resolution as both sides maintain firm territorial demands.
