After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine also inherited most of the mantle of the Soviet Union, so in today's Ukrainian weapons and equipment sequence, there are also a large number of weapons and equipment left over from the Soviet era, and the contest between Russia and Ukraine in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has also become a game of Soviet-made equipment. However, in the Ukrainian equipment sequence, there are also many weapons from Western countries military aid, at present, Western countries in the process of military aid to Ukraine has no bottom line, the United States also proposed to Ukraine to provide Patriot air defense missile support, Patriot air defense missile once on the Ukrainian battlefield, which also means that Russia's missiles and fighters have big trouble.
Some time ago, the UK also reported news to Ukraine for Apache gunship support, Apache gunship is the Western countries active armed helicopter, once the Apache gunship support to Ukraine for use, then it also means that Western countries fighters on the battlefield, but then some time later, the British media has refuted rumors that the UK will not provide Apache gunship support to Ukraine, but just after the UK refuted the rumor, There was also a European-made helicopter crash on the territory of Ukraine.
On January 18, the European-made EC225 helicopter suddenly crashed in Kiev, Ukraine, EC225 helicopters have been in service with the Ukrainian army's battle sequence for a long time, these helicopters were not sent to the Ukrainian battlefield after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and for a long time in the past, EC225 helicopters played the role of transportation. When the European-made helicopter crashed, the Russian army's anti-aircraft weapons were not fired, and it is understood that the EC225 helicopter was carrying many high-level Ukrainian officials, including the Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs and his deputies.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia has never launched a beheading operation, which has also made many high-level officials in Ukraine live to this day, but what people did not expect is that they luckily avoided Russia's special military operation, but fell on their helicopters, and it was pointed out that the helicopter crash was likely to be due to weather.
Judging from the photos and videos taken by the Ukrainian people, before the EC225 helicopter crashed, there was already a video showing that the EC225 helicopter was flying at an ultra-low altitude, and the reason why the helicopter would fly at ultra-low altitude must also be to avoid detection by the Russian air defense system, as long as the aircraft flew low enough, the Russian air defense system could not detect the existence of the helicopter, let alone launch a strike against the helicopter. The foggy weather and the large number of high-rise buildings and power lines in Kiev, and the complex air conditions also caused the risk of the EC225 helicopter flying at low altitude to rise sharply.
