To defeat the Ka-52 of the Russian Aerospace Forces near Rabotino , the Ukrainian army allegedly used the Swedish RBS 70 (Robotsystem 70) MANPADS . The RBS 70 missile is guided by the operator using a laser beam, which makes the countermeasures of the BKO “Vitebsk“ useless in the face of shooting false thermal targets. In addition, the range of the RBS 70 significantly exceeds the launch ranges of “classic“ MANPADS, such as the Igla or Stinger, which reduces the helicopter’s safe distance from the line of contact.
