Russian Ka-52 helicopter was shot down by Ukrainian Manpad missile

Rabotino area! This is the first video of a successful Ka-52(red circle)ejection seat(green circle) of the crew in real combat.The pilot successfully catapulted, but unfortunately the navigator could not eject.However, thanks to the catapult, the commander/pilot was able to escape. On any other helicopter, such a missile hit would mean the inevitable death of both.

Immediately after the crash of the helicopter, the Mi-28 moved into place, which examined the territory, established the location of the survivor and sent an evacuation signal. After a short period of time, a transport helicopter Mi-17 landed on the field, which picked up the pilot.
