As Russia slides into a daunting civil conflict seemingly in a single day, “Prime Gun”-style footage of a Russian Ka-52 Military helicopter managing to deflect a Wagner anti-aircraft missile in Voronezh was amongst a spate of gorgeous movies Saturday displaying how briskly it seems to be going flawed for President Vladimir Putin.
The Strela-10 air protection system, reportedly belonging to the Wagner non-public mercenary forces led by one-time Putin ally Yevgeny Progozhin, was seen firing on the Russian Ka-52 army helicopter in Voronezh, which is about 300 miles from Moscow.
One other video confirmed the missile simply lacking the Ka-52 helicopter.
One other video confirmed a strike on what seemed to be a Wagner-led convoy heading for Moscow on the M-Four freeway.
Putin, who reportedly fled from Moscow to St. Petersburg on his non-public jet, gave the impression to be caught flat-footed by the Prigozhin’s betrayal.
Hardened fighters from his non-public militia have seized management of Rostov-on-Don, a metropolis of practically 1,000,000 on the Ukraine border that serves because the rear logistical hub for Russia’s total invasion drive, and have been shifting quickly north by means of western Russia.
Within the capital, visitors on the Moscow River got here to a halt as cops in bulletproof vests and armed with machine weapons have been noticed close to the doorway of the most important freeway that hyperlinks Moscow with Voronezh and Rostov-on-Don in obvious expectation of the oncoming Wagner convoy.
