Vadym, a 23-year-old Ukrainian pilot, flew harrowing missions to all three of these legendary battles in his Soviet-era MI-8 helicopter.
In GoPro footage Vadym shared with Scripps News, he shows how he flew fast, hugging the surface of the Black Sea to avoid radar detection — while attacking Russian positions on Snake Island. "We were flying at a height of around three feet," Vadym says."And there was a feeling that water was pouring into the cabin. That was scary." In an interview aboard his chopper, at a secret base in central Ukraine, Vadym answered questions critical to understanding the low-profile, high-impact role these aviators play.
