August 17th's morning brought significant activity for the Ukrainian air defense, as they successfully targeted and destroyed two highly sophisticated Russian Ka-52 Alligator helicopters. One incident occurred near Robytyne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and the other took place near Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast. Notably, one of Ka-52 Alligator helicopters was taken down by the 47th Mechanized Brigade using a Swedish RBS-70 MANPAD. The deployment of the RBS-70 MANPAD, which has been captured on video, marks the first visible confirmation of Ukraine employing this system in combat. Subscribe Now :
