The saboteurs placed explosives onto Ka-52 helicopters, which are worth about £12 million each.

On Monday, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said that two Russian Ka-52 helicopters were destroyed while two more were severely damaged.

The military intelligence department, however, did not claim responsibility for the attack, but Russian media has reported explosions at the Veretye airfield.

The Telegraph news service Baza, which has ties to Russian security services, quoted an anonymous Russian officer who said the explosion was “so powerful that the aircraft’s debris was scattered around 200 metres away”.
