Russian attack Helicopters strike Ukrainian military targets in new footage

This footage reportedly shows Russian attack helicopters hitting Ukrainian military targets before returning back to base.

The video allegedly shows heavily-armed Russian attack helicopters – sporting the now infamous 'Z' symbol – taking off from an undisclosed location before heading to their targets somewhere in Ukraine.

The helicopters can be seen flying low over a forest area before firing their ordnance at unseen targets.

The footage obtained from the Russian Ministry of Defence with a statement claiming that the images show the "combat work of the crews of Mi-28 multi-purpose attack helicopters and fire support groups of the army aviation of the Western Military District in the zone of the special military operation."

From what we've seen of this war so far, either these choppers are over Russian territory OR it was filmed before hostilities broke out.

LOL Russia considers Ukraine trees to be military targets.

[chrissmith-wqgr]

Didn't realise the surrounding areas of woodland was classed as enemy targets

It seems to me like you keep posting old archive footage, The Sun.

[meetmehalfway]

Just more Russian 'war' footage without seeing a single Ukrainian unit.

[mediamagikgroup]

Shame on you Sun for posting this crap! I see no targets being hit at all, this is either just training footage or Russian propaganda.

[veeaa]

How are they not embarrassed leaking such a show of incompetence to the public? 🤦

Russia's war record :-
1856 defeated by Britain and France
1905 defeated by Japan
1917 defeated by Germany
1920 defeated by Poland
1939 defeated by Finland
1969 defeated by China
1989 defeated by Afghanistan

In WW2 it was Stalin's NKVD that won the war : officers who wouldn't advance were shot or sent to the Gulags. Tens of thousands went to the Gulags, including Solzhenitsyn
Russia's only victories come from invading smaller countries :-
a) Hungary 1956
b) Czechoslovakia 1968
c) Georgia 2008
d) Crimea 2014

Good job boys. You took off, flew past the tree line and shot at absolutely nothing before coming back and landing. Whoever is doing your psyops, you should send them to the goulag. Lol

[MrHITACHI]

Shooting river's and tree's is the new special mission
