On 4 March 2022, a Ukrainian Army Aviation Mi-24* helicopter of the 11th Army Aviation Brigade was shot down by forces of the Russian Federation in the vicinity of Velyka Novoselka in Donetsk Oblast.
Two members of the flight crew were killed in the crash:
Starshyi leitenant Sergei Anatoliyovych Glynenko
Kapitan Yuri Dmitrovich Pentela
*There is some confusion as to whether the aircraft in question was an Mi-24 gunship helicopter, or an Mi-8 transport helicopter. The source 'The Military Watch" came to the conclusion that it was likely a Mi-24 helicopter.
