Venäläisen Mi-28-helikopterin nähtiin ampuvan risteilyohjusta
Published
According to reports, a Russian Mi-28 attack helicopter has been seen firing a cruise missile. The missile's range is estimated to be as much as 500 kilometres. The information raises questions about how the war is being fought in Ukraine.
According to reports, the weapon would give Russian helicopters the ability to strike targets in Ukraine. The helicopters would not need to fly outside Russian airspace. This would mean they could remain over Russian territory and still hit targets in Ukraine.
The Mi-28 is usually known as a combat helicopter used close to the front line. If the missile's range really is this great, it would change the helicopter's role in warfare. The accuracy of the information has not yet been confirmed.
The topic is relevant to Finns, because Finland has a border of about 1,300 kilometres with Russia. Developments in the war in Ukraine also affect the security situation across Europe. No more detailed information on the weapon's characteristics has been published so far, and the matter is being monitored.
