Definitely, it wasn't AK that brought it down, they want to deceive the people by not disclosing the fact that, the Aircraft was gun down by AA.

Undertaking a CASEVAC is the Mi-17 not meant to be armed since it has attack capabilities?
Though not completely certain, US transport helos don't operate with attack helicopters as support or they are fitted with light attack capabilities.

Very sad.......I never knew Ak rounds could bring down such massive choppers.
I used to think the underbelly comes armoured and can withstand such.
I really really detest rotor crafts.....they are like the okadas of the sky.
Very unpredictable.......RIP to the dead.

They went with songs to the battle,
they were young,
Straight of limb,
true of eye,
steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncountered,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

Thanks for your service.

The military official speaks of a helicopter and yet this media report mentions "fighter jet". When are we going to get defence-literate journalists on this continent?
