As the helicopters approached, I aimed my Igla MANPADS at the target and launched a missile. It hit a rotor. Thick black smoke rose from the struck Alligator," said a serviceman of the 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine posted on Facebook.
