Fighting Reported Near US Base in Chernarus ADA News - October 26th, 2019 Sporadic fighting was heard in the area around Vybor Air Base yesterday, with reports of a Chernarussian helicopter being shot down being confirmed by the CDF. The CDF spokesperson, Captain Nicolai Vashanko, told gathered reporters that one of their Mi-8 transport helicopters had been downed by a shoulder-launched Surface-to-Air Missile as it transited from the air base to Chernagorsk, but also said that US patrols had defeated the insurgents. Several of the launchers were seized, and Capt. Vashanko stated they had not come from any of the CDF stockpiles, though he did not answer further questions about their origins. Several analysts have speculated that these launchers may have come from Russia Pictured: Captain Vashanko and members of the media examining captured launchers There was also limited looting in the town of Lopatino that occurred as CDF forces and police units were called away to deal with insurgents. It appears several of the local criminals took advantage of the lack of authority to seize medical supplies in the town and flee the town. They were unable to succeed, however, as several American units who had been patrolling for the insurgents stumbled upon them, resulting in two of the looters being killed and another 4 arrested. The Chernarussian government has stated that they have restored order to the area, and promised that even during times of war, the rule of law will be followed. By Arthur Currie ADA News
