Russia films Banderol/Dan-T kamikaze drone air-launched from Mi-28NM helicopter in operational zone

Published 7 November 2026

Video from the operational zone confirms Russia has begun launching Banderol (’Dan-T’) loitering munitions directly from Mi-28NM ‘Night Hunter’ attack helicopters. Ukrainian analyst Beskrestnov noted this delivery method offers an advantage over jet-powered Shaheds: the helicopter can stage close to Ukrainian borders from multiple dispersed positions, releasing the munition without fixed ground infrastructure. Separate Russian footage shows the round in flight near Zaporizhzhia, with Ukrainian air defence claiming one intercept.
