Ukrainian Mi-24P Shot Down While Flying Low and Fast

Footage recorded in 2014 captures the moment a Ukrainian Mi-24P is shot down by an anti-aircraft missile while flying a patrol route with another helicopter of the same type.


This video, which was first published by us back in late 2014, captures the dramatic moments Ukrainian pilots find themselves struck by an unknown anti-aircraft missile. Even to this day, we're not exactly sure which MANPAD system was used to bring the gunship down, but we do know that it was members of the Donetsk People Republic near Slavyansk who managed to bring it down. We can really only muster one guess as to who supplied the DPR with MANPADs.


Both pilots, Major Oleg Biryukov and Captain Anton Rodionov, died in the crash when the helicopter impacted with the Earth at a high rate of speed.
