Three military helicopters mysteriously burn down in Russia

In Russia, three military helicopters used in the war against Ukraine have burned down. Russian authorities are trying to conceal the causes and consequences of the explosions and fires that accompanied these incidents, according to the HUR, the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.

The destroyed helicopters include a multi-purpose Mi-8, which burned at the Kryazh airbase in Samara on July 24, and an attack Mi-28 and multi-purpose Ka-226, which went up in flames in Tomilino near Moscow on July 21, reported HUR.

Tomilino is home to the Moscow Mil and Kamov Helicopter Plant, involved in the design, production, and servicing of helicopters.

It was emphasized that the destroyed and damaged helicopters were used in the war against Ukraine.

"Residents of Samara, Tomilino, and the neighboring suburbs of Moscow were very concerned about the explosions, but Russian authorities are trying to hide the causes and consequences of the noise and fires," HUR's statement emphasized.
