Mi-8 destroyed in Transnistria

Moldova : A Mil Mi-8 destroyed in reportedly UAV attack in separatist territory of Transnistria. The helicopter took a direct hit. Are such UAVs so precise ? Russian provocation ?

Re: Charleroi (EBCI/CRL) 2023 MIL

Zijn de Pakistaanse herculessen te fotograferen? I had to go to Charleroi airport today. The 2 Pakistani C-130 Hs are visible from the N568/rue des Fusillés from the area where it crosses the A54.
