In news just in, a Ukrainian special forces team reportedly infiltrated an enemy airbase and destroyed two attack helicopters, with heavy damage inflicted to a third aircraft.

According to Ukrainian sources, the raid took place at the Russian army’s Veretye air base in north-western Pskov Region, far behind enemy lines, on October 30th.

The operatives planted explosive charges on four Kamaz-52 attack helicopters parked on the tarmac. Two were completely destroyed, one sustained heavy damage, and the fourth set of explosives did not detonate. The strike force exfiltrated safely and unnoticed by enemy forces.

The loss of these aircraft represents a significant blow to Russia’s close air support capabilities in the region.
