Russia loses Ka-52 Helicopters after Airbase Blast



A Powerful Explosion at Russia’s Ostrov Airbase Destroyed and Samaged several Ka-52 Alligator Attack Helicopters, adding to Mounting Losses Suffered during the War in Ukraine.

The Ka-52, Armed with 30 millimeter Cannons, Vikhr Anti Tank Missiles, and Advanced Guided Weapons, has already seen Significant Attrition on the Battlefield, with Dozens Reportedly Shot-Down by Ukrainian Air Defenses.

Now, an Apparent Act of Sabotage, Hundreds of Miles from the Frontlines, Raises New Concerns about Security inside Russian Territory.

The Incident Highlights both the Helicopter’s Battlefield Vulnerability, and the growing Risks Facing High Value Military Assets far from Active Combat Zones.

Russia’s Armor was meant to Crush Resistance and Carry Vladimir Putin to Triumph. Instead, Tactics, Faulty Iintelligence, and Fierce Ukrainian Defenses, turned Ttanks into Liabilities, producing Losses unseen since the Soviet Era.
