What this category counts

Helicopter losses is one of the 14 categories the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine publishes every morning in its report on enemy losses. As of 25 October 2026, day 1705 of the full-scale war, the running total stands at 356; it grew by 0 in the last day.

Helicopters are attack and transport rotorcraft: Ka-52, Mi-28, Mi-24/35, Mi-8 and others. Helicopters shot down or destroyed on the ground are counted once confirmed.

The figure is cumulative: each report adds the losses confirmed over the previous day to the total since 24 February 2022, and later corrections by the General Staff replace earlier values. StatsWar fetches the report automatically through russianwarship.rip and derives monthly and weekly losses as differences of the running totals, so days missing from the reports are not lost. For the pre-war comparison we use 1,543 units including storage according to Global Firepower 2022: losses already amount to 23% of that figure.

The trend in words

Over the last 30 days the average pace was 0.0 per day.

In September 2026 losses reached 2, about the same as in August 2026 (0).

If the pace holds, the total will reach about 356 by the end of October 2027.
