A Russian Mi-28 attack helicopter crashed over the Kerch Strait. This is reported by “Militarnyi”.
According to preliminary data, the pilot lost control of the helicopter during the planned flight, which led to the fall into the sea. As a result of the incident, two pilots died: one was found dead, the search for the second continues.
According to sources, the crash of the Mi-28 may have been caused by an engine fire, which led to a loss of speed and altitude.
The occupiers actively use Mi-28 and Ka-52 helicopters to patrol the Kerch Strait and guard the Crimean bridge, which Russia uses for the transportation of military equipment.
Also, these helicopters are involved in air defense to intercept drones attacking the objects of the invaders in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
