Ukraine shares footage that appears to show a Russian helicopter gunship shot down in flames with a

Stinger portable air-defense system, say reports

Footage appears to show the moment a Russian gunship helicopter was shot down by a man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) in the Kyiv Oblast province of Ukraine.

In the video, a helicopter immediately bursts into flames and crashes to the ground after being targeted by a weapon.




The footage was shared on Twitter by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine on Saturday morning. "This is how the Russian occupiers are dying," the ministry said in the caption. "This time in a helicopter!"

The helicopter in the footage appears to be a Mil Mi-24 Hind gunship, according to MailOnline.
