One of the few aer battles in Ukraine was captured on camera. A Russian fighter (it is unknown what model, but the author of the video says that it is the “Su” class aircraft) shot down a Ukrainian helicopter. The helicopter seems to be Mi-14PS, a search and rescue helicopter used by the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine).
The incident took place in the Odessa region. According to unconfirmed information, the helicopter was driven by Colonel Igor Bedzai. Igor Bedzai was a colonel in the Ukrainian Navy, who was granted the title of Hero of Ukraine. Igor was in charge of the Tenth Sakha Brigade and was also deputy commander of the Ukrainian Navy.
According to the Ukrainian media he died on May 9, 2022. Igor Bedzai was recognized as one of the best pilots in Ukraine. He was part of the crew and had little influence on the situation. According to the another version, Igor died a month ago near the Crimea, it was reported by Taras Chmut – director of the “Return to the Living” Foundation. According to the reports he died as a result of the unsuccessful landing on Snake Island.

However, all versions converge on the death of the Ukrainian pilot. The AFU suffered a great loss, as Igor really distinguished himself by his high combat skills.
