Russian Ka-52 Alligator Smacked By MANPADS
Published 2 years ago
The Ukrainian 95th Brigade made a hit on a reported Russian Ka-52 "Alligator" attack helicopter with a man portable air defense system, possibly a Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) Martlet. The effectiveness of the strike cannot be determined from the video. Although the helo drops rapidly following the hit, no conclusive smoke plume can be seen emanating from the horizon which is common in videos of aircraft crash sites. Regardless if the aircraft crash, made an emergency landing, or made it back to base, it likely received significant damage.
