A dramatic flip and explosion: Ukrainian soldiers from Zakarpattya show how they neutralize Russian Ka-52 helicopter

The 128th separate mountain assault Zakarpattya brigade shared the update on their Facebook page 

The video shows the moment the missile hit, after which the helicopter made a "dramatic flip" in the air, fell to the ground and exploded. The entire crew was killed instantaneously.

Note that the Alligator in military nomenclature is considered a commander's aircraft.

"This is the newest unit of Russian combat aircraft, which has been in production since 2008 and is equipped with a laser-guided cannon system, an anti-tank missile system, air bombs and other weapons. A Ka-52 helicopter costs over 16 million US dollars," the Zakarpattya Legion fighters added.
