Russian pilot Maksym Kuzminov defected to Ukraine with a Mi-8 AMTSh helicopter last month. Kuzminov described how he crossed into Ukraine in a video shared by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence. He flew 32 feet above the ground with his transponder off to avoid being spotted, The Wall Street Journal reported. The defection was first made public in late August, but additional details about the Russian pilot who flew a Mi-8 helicopter to Ukraine were released by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence in a video posted on Sunday. Kuzminov communicated with Ukrainian defense officials via the encrypted messaging app Telegram and came up with a plan to fly the stolen Russian helicopter into Ukraine.
