If true it's showing the confusion the Russians are suffering from in the Kherson region.

"Around noon, three [Russian] Ka-52 [helicopters] struck their own troops instead of the Ukrainian forces they intended to strike. In response, they were struck by Russian air defence equipment on their return from the mission. As a result, the enemy has extended us this gesture of good will, destroying one of their own Ka-52 attack [helicopter]. There were no losses on our side," the operational command reports.
Russian air defence has shot down a Russian Ka-52 helicopter in Kherson Oblast.

Quote: "Yesterday, three Russian Ka-52s [helicopters -ed.] intended to attack our units in the Kherson region, but... they hit their own.On their way back, the invaders' helicopters came under ‘friendly’ fire opened by frightened air defence squads of the Russian troops.

Russian air defence has never been particularly known for its accuracy, so the invaders shot down only one out of their three Ka-52 attack helicopters."
