A Russian helicopter transporting hired soldiers was downed in Africa. Everyone aboard died.
This information was disseminated by the Russian Z-blogger Ilya Tumanov (Fighterbomber).
The Russian Defense Ministry, along with the official press of the aggressor nation, remain silent.
“We suffered the loss of our helicopter in Africa. The personnel and the mobile rapid reaction team onboard were killed,” the Z-blogger stated.

Tumanov made it clear that, based on initial data, the aircraft was brought down by an anti-aircraft missile defense system.
The propagandist did not provide any additional specifics.
It is important to note that Russia's military footprint in Africa is considerable. It impacts approximately 10 countries. Previously, the Wagner PMC was very active in the area. However, subsequent to its mutiny and dissolution, the so-called African Corps of the Russian Ministry of Defense assumed its duties. Earlier, a helicopter went down in Mali.
We will remind you that near the end of March, in the Donetsk region, fighters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a Russian helicopter utilizing a drone.
