These images purportedly show the strike group of the Russian army aviation conducting a combat sortie in the Luhansk Region.

The strike group of the army aviation of the Aerospace Forces, consisting of the attack helicopter Mi-28 covering the attack Ka-52 and the search and rescue helicopter Mi-8, performed a combat sortie in the Svatove-Kremenivka area of eastern Ukraine.

As a result of the combat mission, the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) said helicopter crews managed to destroy Ukrainian military equipment.

The Ka-52 covering its operation confirmed the destruction of the equipment through objective control means, the ministry said.

After the successful completion of the combat mission, the entire group returned to the home airfield, the Russian MoD added.
