A cockpit video has surfaced showing the time a Russian Ka-52 "Alligator" attack helicopter accidentally fired on a parking full of spectators and journalists.

The incident occurred at the Russian Zapad military exercise near the Estonian border in 2017. At least two reporters were injured in the negligent strike, and it was also reported that three Russian service members were also injured, although the wounded troops didn't make it into the official reports. Russian President Putin denied the incident happened, and later, the Russian military said the incident was the result of a targeting "glitch" when the video went viral, and they could no longer deny it occurred.
