Ukraine Destroys Four Russian Helicopters in Belgorod Using U.S.-Supplied HIMARS

The strike, targeting a camouflaged staging area, underscores Kyiv's deep-strike capabilities and comes as U.S.-Russia peace talks focus on a potential Ukraine ceasefire.

Ukraine's Special Operations Forces, with GUR military intelligence, destroyed two Ka-52 and two Mi-8 helicopters in Russia's Belgorod region using U.S.-supplied HIMARS systems.
The helicopters were stationed at a camouflaged staging area, reportedly used for rapid deployment and attacks on Ukraine, approximately 60 kilometers from the border.
The operation utilized M30A2 guided missiles, highlighting the critical role of U.S. weaponry and intelligence in Ukraine's military strategy.
The loss of the Ka-52 helicopters, known for their advanced engineering and attack capabilities, represents a significant blow to Russia's operational readiness.
The strike coincided with U.S.-Russia peace talks in Saudi Arabia, which are addressing a potential ceasefire and maritime agreements in the Black Sea.
