A batch of new Ka-52 attack helicopters strengthened the helicopter group of the Southern Federal District, this caused alarm from Kiev

Russia continues to strengthen its strike air force in the Rostov region near a potentially conflict zone in the Donbas. Military Review writes that the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the arrival of a batch of seven helicopters in one of the army aviation regiments of the Southern Military District. Helicopters are delivered to the duty station in disassembled form on military transport aircraft.

Kiev believes that the build-up of the combat power of Russian military formations in the Southern Federal District is carried out with the aim of the subsequent seizure of Ukrainian territories.

KA-52 is an attack helicopter capable of performing a wide range of combat missions, but its main task is to destroy enemy tanks. A total of 114 modernized helicopters are planned to be put into service.

Recall that in recent months Ukraine has been working to strengthen its military grouping in the conflict zone in Donbass, according to military experts, the Ukrainian army is learning to use the Turkish UAV Bayraktar , and in the near future it intends to withdraw from the Minsk Agreements , which provokes the risk of developing a new military conflict in Donbass.

1 Sevastopolskiy wrote earlier that the Russian Donbass forum was held in Donetsk last week , one of the goals of which was the recognition of Donbass as an organic part of Russia.
