Shillong, May 14: Four Russian warplanes and choppers were shot down by Ukraine while another crashed near the border between the two countries.

According to Russian press reports, a fifth aircraft crashed on Saturday on the Russian side, while two Russian jets, two military helicopters, and two military vehicles were shot down close to the Ukrainian border.

According to Russian news agency Kommersant, a Su-34 fighter-bomber, a Su-35 fighter, and two Mi-8 helicopters were “shot down almost simultaneously” in an ambush in the Bryansk region.

The shot down aircrafts were supposedly a raiding team sent to assault Ukraine.

The helicopters were there to support the fighters, among other things to pick up the “Su” crews if they were shot down, and, according to preliminary data, the fighters were meant to deliver a missile and bomb attack on targets in the Chernihiv region of Ukraine.

An engine fire led a helicopter to crash in Klintsy, 25 miles from the Ukrainian border, according to an emergency service officer quoted by the Russian state news agency TASS.
