A missile system made in Belfast has shot down a Russian helicopter in Ukraine in its first use.
Ukrainian forces are understood to have used the Starstreak Missile System, made by Thales Air Defence in Belfast, to shoot a Russian Mi-28N helicopter out of the sky in the Luhansk region.
The laser-guided travels at more than three times the speed of sound to take down low-flying enemy jets and attack helicopters. It can be fired from the shoulder and has a range of four miles.
