The Russian Defense Ministry has released a video clip of a Ka-52 Alligator attack and reconnaissance helicopter obliterating a Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle with its Vikhr-M anti-tank missile system on the Krasny Liman front.
During the combat mission, the pilots received target coordinates and destroyed the Ukrainian armored vehicle. The helicopter pilots approached the combat zone at extremely low altitude, which allowed the crews to remain undetected by enemy air defenses.
