Russian Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter dodges a Strela-10 missile (video)

Clashes continued between the Russian security forces and the mercenaries of the Wagner Special Military Forces. We have already written that the Russian Air Force has lost two rare Mi-8MTRP-1 helicopters. Now a video has emerged showing how the Ka-52 Alligator evaded a missile launched from the Strela-10 short-range air defense system.

Voronezh residents posted videos from the scene. A video of an explosion appeared on social media at an oil depot, over which a Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter of the Russian Aerospace Forces flew.

Later, a video was released showing PMC’s Strela-10 surface-to-air missile system firing a missile at the Ka-52. I think the helicopter was destroyed by the missile.

In the end, however, it turned out that it was the Strela-10 missile that hit the oil depot. The third video shows how the on-board defense complex protected the Ka-52. As a result, the missile missed the helicopter and hit the oil depot.
