I tried to Google the phrase, and one of the first hits I saw was a link to fucking Pravda.

Google should be, if not totally suppressing, strongly down-rating links to Pravda these days.

The Ukrainians blew the shit out of a bunch of helicopters there. I assume that's the reference, but I think it lost something in the translation.

Russians have been destroyed 10 times so far at Chornobaikva. They keep coming, they keep dying. It's pretty much a joke now.

That’s the name of a town associated with Kherson Airfield, which Ukraine attacked after it was seized by Russia, and which continues to be attacked by Ukraine with apparently good progress.
