A Russian Ka-52 combat helicopter shot down by Ukraine’s Dnipro anti-aircraft missile brigade on Dec. 4 included Russia’s “most effective” crew, Russian propaganda media outlets reported on Dec. 5.

“The ‘Boroda’ (‘Beard’) crew was the most effective crew of the group,” one of the Russian media outlets reported on the Telegram messenger.

“They were the best of the best. Six orders of courage for two.”
