🔴 Russian Fighter Jet Tries To Down Ukrainian Helicopter With 30mm Cannon From Close Range

Pretty rare footage from an encounter between a Russian fighter jet and a Ukrainian transport helicopter surfaced online a few days ago.

The video shows a Russian Sukhoi fighter jet engaging a low flying Ukrainian Mi-14PS helicopter with its GSh-30-1 30 mm cannon.

The gun run missies and the video cuts off before another attempt of the jet is been made but Russian sources claim the helicopter was downed with a R-73 air-to-air missile on the next pass.

The video was filmed in Odessa and one of the few videos out there that shows an situation like this.

In fact we only know of one other video showing the use of an fighter jets auto cannon from such a close range against an other aircraft and this video is from the 1992's coup in Venezuela.
