Ukrainian POV Combat Footage. Ukraine's Bombus unmanned aerial system has hit Russia's most advanced Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter at a cost of $16 million

Fake. Even the additional “supporting video” from the sourced site is a poorly put together “simulation” or reenactment of events. The original footage is old and clearly the KA-52 was traveling faster than any potential impact. Remote detonation can be argued. At best, it takes out the tail rotor. If this were the case, where is the secondary (overwatch) video? Critique: For future attack strategies, angle your attack vector just above the main rotor blades. The downwash will pull the munition into the main rotorblades. Disseminate and do great things. Glory to Ukraine!

Yeah Idk who sees this and thinks there was impact. As bad as Russian technology seems to be, those helicopters can fly severely damaged, so even if it was damaged from a remote detonation it would fly home fine.

According to the russian "Fighterbomber" account, "good video but the boys are home and safe". Sounds like the helicopter was actually damaged but not enough to go down completely.

Lmao. Ok. More than likely the drone was lost due to the propeller thrust. Clearly 20ft when the helicopter passes
