The press service of the Special Operations Forces reported the information."We are changing the rules of the game: now we are the hunters! For the first time, a Russian Mi-8 helicopter was shot down in the air by the Special Operations Forces 'deep strike' drone," the message says.Each operation requires a creative approach — from the technical capabilities of the equipment to the planning and training of the pilots."This mission left the enemy with many questions, the answers to which are known only to the crew members of the Mi-8, but they will not tell," the Special Operations Forces added.On November 8, the Special Operations Forces attacked an ammunition depot of the Russian army near Simferopol and eliminated an S-400 Triumph air defense system launcher in the Yevpatoria area.
