Watch: Helicopter narrowly misses car on road; ‘welcome to Ukraine’, says defence ministry

A video of a helicopter having a close shave with vehicles on road in Ukraine has gone viral on social media, garnering over a million views on Twitter.

The clip, posted on Twitter by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, showed a helicopter approaching a road that is apparently open to civilians and flying very close to the vehicle. ‘Welcome to Ukraine’, read the caption.

One Twitter user commented: “Below the radar has a new meaning”.

A few others praised the pilot. “That’s definitely years of training respect for the fighter pilot,” commented one. “Pretty decent overtaking manoeuvre by the chopper there,” read another comment.
