24 June Malt killed nine Ukrainian soldiers after successfully shooting down an Mi-8 helicopter.

On 19 June militiamen hit an Su-25 near Yampol with an Igla. The fate of the aircraft is unknown.

The anti-air service’s last successful hit at Slavyansk was on 2 July when they hit an Su-24 with an Igla. The plane was badly damaged, but managed to return to base.

Sometimes, the anti-aircraft missiles didn’t fire or missed the target. Some of the Ukrainian helicopters had the ADROS optoelectronic suppression system installed, which disabled the Igla’s tracking capability.
