Slovakia sent four Mi-17 helicopters to Ukraine
Late last month, trucks transporting Mi-17 helicopters were spotted on Slovakian roads.
What we know
Slovakia sent four "iron birds" to Ukraine. Since the video was shot several days ago, it is assumed that the helicopters have already been supplied to the Ukrainian Air Force.
The Mi-17 is a Soviet helicopter produced in Russia and also known as the Mi-8M. It differs in having a tail rotor on the port side instead of the right, as well as the presence of dust shields in front of the engine air intakes. The Slovak Air Force used Mi-17 helicopters during the Kosovo conflict.
It should be noted that Slovakia may transfer not only Mi-17s to Ukraine. Western neighbors are considering the possibility of sending MiG-29 aircraft and T-72M tanks.
