Russians shot down their own Mi-8 in the Voronezh Region of the Russian Federation
The Russian military lost an Mi-8 helicopter in the Voronezh Region of the Russian Federation. All three crew members were killed in the crash, and Russian sources are hinting at the possibility that the helicopter was shot down by friendly fire.
The loss was reported by Ilya Tumanov, a Z-blogger with ties to the Russian aviation community, known as Fighterbomber. The propagandist hinted that the crash was caused by “friendly fire,” a theory also published by the Telegram channel “Spy’s Dossier.”
According to Tumanov, the occupying army lost one Mi-8 helicopter the day before, on October 1. Along with the helicopter, the entire crew—three people—had set off for Kobzon’s concert.
According to the propagandist, the loss was the result of “friendly fire.”
“Yesterday we lost another Mi-8 along with its crew. I won’t go into the reasons. The reason is a classic one that humanity is unlikely ever to overcome, despite AI, robots, neural networks, ‘friend or foe’ (recognition system—Ed.), and other wonders of science and technology. All of which pale in comparison to His Majesty—the moron,” wrote “Fighterbomber,” wishing the “denazified” Russian pilots not their customary “eternal flight,” but “the ground instead of the sky.”
This incident took place in the Annensky District of the Voronezh Region of the Russian Federation—80 km from Voronezh. The pilot, navigator, and gunner were killed.
