On 4 March 2022, the Russian Air Force Mil Mi-8MTV-5 s/n RF-04525, code 57 blue, was shot down by Ukrainian forces near Volnovakha, Donetsk Oblast, while conducting CSAR mission for the pilot of downed Sukhoi Su-25SM3 s/n RF-93026, code 08 red. Out of the 11 people on board, 3 crew members and 8 rescuers, only two survived. Among the dead was the pilot, major Alexander Shevtsov.
In a later published interview, starshiy leytenant Ivan Reutin, who survived the shoot down of the Mi-8 on 4 March 2022, revealed that his helicopter was named "Николай Майданов" (Nikolai Maidanov). This allowed positive identification of the downed helicopter as Mil Mi-8MTV-5 s/n RF-04525, code 57 blue.
Nikolai Maidanov was a helicopter pilot who was shot down on 29 January 2000, during the Second Chechen War.
