Crash place Klenki. Much closer Ukraine than Kaluga.

I suggest forward based helicopter from army brigade Ostrava after mission in Ukraine.

Another possible unit is the forward based Vyazma regiment. But they have no Mi-28 yet.

Both units belongs to the Zapad army group.

The Russians call all their combat missions in Ukraine for training flights.
