By comparing Planet Labs imagery taken on 29 September 2023, we can assume with some degree of probability what types of helicopters were lost. Apparently four Mi-8 and five Ka-52 were destroyed in the attack on 17 October 2023.

    Since cluster munitions were used, a wide area would have been peppered with shrapnel. I’d argue that anything that wasn’t destroyed is badly damaged enough that they’re no longer fit for operations without repairs and maintenance.
