Narrative:On 12 March 2024, three Ukrainian Army Aviation Mil Mi-8 type helicopters landed in a field located north-east of the settlement of Novopavlovka in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. However, the site was being monitored by a Russian Supercam reconnaissance UAV, which directed an airburst cluster munition strike on the helicopters on the ground. This strike critically damaged two helicopters as a result of fragmentation damage, but the third helicopter was able to leave the area with only minor damage.
It is noteworthy that on the same day, a guided bombing strike has conducted on a nearby warehouse by a Russian Air Force Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bomber using UMPK equipped glide bombs, located about 900m away from the site of the destroyed helicopters. The building reportedly contained NAR rockets for the helicopters.
The other Mi-17 helicopter destroyed:
