Ka-52 Russian helicopters have been engaged in the Syrian operation for the first time. Video was shot near the town of al-Qaratain, which was liberated from the terrorists on April 3.

At least three ‘Alligators’ firing unguided missiles can be seen in the video. It could be a historical moment, for craft of this type had never been used in combat before.

We remind that as many as two Ka-52 helicopters were redeployed from Russia to the Syrian airbase Hmeymim in mid-March of 2016.
