A video of the AFU shooting down a Russian Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter on 17 August has appeared on the Internet.

Here's What We Know

The video was shared on social networks. The video shows the work of the 47 separate mechanised brigade in the area of the settlement of Robotino (Zaporozhye region). The helicopter was shot down with the help of man-portable air defence systems. Presumably, we are talking about the Swedish RBS 70 system.

Flashback

RBS 70 is a portable surface-to-air missile system developed in Sweden by Bofors Defence (now Saab Bofors Dynamics). The system uses laser-guided BOLIDE missiles. They are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 8 kilometres and at an altitude of up to 5 kilometres. The reloading time of the MANPADS is only 2 seconds.
