The Ka-52s launched the missile strikes as part of Russia’s ongoing special military operation in Ukraine. The strikes came amid Kiev’s effort to stage a counteroffensive against Russian troops.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has released a video of the Ka-52 attack and reconnaissance helicopters destroying the Western-made combat armored vehicles of Ukrainian troops in the Zaporozhye region.
Commenting on the footage that was posted on the MoD’s Telegram page, the ministry pointed out that “the Russian army’s aviation crews attacked a convoy of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with guided missiles.”
According to the MoD, after several such vehicles were obliterated, others tried to disperse but they were also destroyed by the Ka-52 crews.
The video comes after Colonel-General Alexander Romanchuk, the commander of the Russian Armed Forces group in the Zaporozhye region, said Ukrainian troops had lost up to 350 people and over 30 tanks, including three Western-made Leopard-2s, during an attempt to conduct a counteroffensive against Russian forces.

Ukrainian officials have hyped their counteroffensive for several months, demanding funds and ammo from Western countries. It seems the effort has already begun, but all that can be seen so far is incinerated NATO military equipment worth millions of dollars.
Russian Ministry of Defense has published a clip that shows troops wiping out Ukrainian military equipment in the Zaporozhye direction, with cindering remains of enemy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
The Kiev regime has long been promising a counteroffensive, envisioning a major turn on the battlefield and asking for more funding.
However, despite cutting-edge Western equipment, Ukrainian militants are losing considerable numbers of troops every day without advancing further.
