Ukraine Counter Offensive Destroys Multiple Russian Helicopters

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ukraine-counter-offensive-destroys-multiple-russian-helicopters/ar-AAV8oCQ?li=BBnb7Kz

The Russian-held Kherson International Airport and Air Base near the southern Ukrainian port city has successfully been struck by Ukrainian forces, according to a number of satellite images.

The Ukrainian attack on Tuesday appears to have destroyed a number of Russian helicopters, with images obtained by Planet Labs PBC showing a cloud of thick, black smoke rising from burning helicopters.

The first image shown above—the one in color—was taken at 1:35 p.m. local time on March 15, 2022.

The satellite images appear to show at least three helicopters on fire, as well as several vehicles. At a pad further away, other helicopters appeared to have been damaged by an earlier strike.


Remind me to never piss off a Ukrainian, bad things happen.
