Share the video on social media. The video shows the work of the 47th separate mechanized brigade near the village of Robotyno (Zaporizhzhia region). The helicopter was shot down by a man-portable air defense system. This is probably the Swedish RBS 70 complex.
The RBS 70 is a man-portable air defense system developed in Sweden by Bofors Defense (now Saab Bofors Dynamics). The system uses laser-guided BOLIDE missiles. They can hit targets at distances of up to 8 km and at altitudes of up to 5 km. The reloading time of the MANPADS is only 2 seconds.
