On June 21, a Kа-29 military helicopter of the Russian Black Sea Fleet naval aviation was shot down near the Russian resort town of Anapa. Four people were killed.
This was reported by Russian propaganda telegram channels.
The public reports that the helicopter was allegedly shot down by friendly fire of Russian air defense.
"In Anapa, our own air defense shot down our helicopter (according to a preliminary version, due to a malfunction of the "friend or foe" system)," the network writes.
To recap, after the destruction of a Russian A-50U long-range radar detection aircraft in March 2024, the Russians also spoke of friendly fire. Later, the United States said that the aircraft could have been shot down by a Patriot air defense system.
