The video was first posted by the intelligence agency on its social media accounts in an effort to debunk Russian claims that Ukrainian UH-60s were shot down.

"All of Black Hawk helicopters are in excellent working order, and their crews continue to perform combat and special missions," Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence Agency said in a statement on the Telegram platform. 

Earlier this month, a video posted by the Russian Defence Ministry appeared to show the downing of at least two helicopters. However, according to media reports, open source investigation raised concern that that the footage featured Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters.
