The footage published by the occupiers shows that during the interception of the Ukrainian Magura V5 maritime drone, R-73 anti-aircraft missiles were fired from it.
Here's What We Know
The video shows a Ukrainian maritime drone manoeuvring to evade fire from a Russian Ka-29 helicopter. Apparently, Ukrainian specialists installed a Soviet R-73 air-to-air missile on board the drone.
The R-73 is primarily a short-range air-to-air missile, but it can be easily launched from ground-based installations and is homing. The missile was first fired at a Russian Mi-8 helicopter, but missed the target.
