In Transcarpathia, border guards detained a helicopter (+ VIDEO)

As we reported, several days ago, during a joint international operation on the Ukrainian-Slovak border, border guards 
found a channel for trafficking of illegal migrants and a helicopter, which violators probably used to transport illegal 
immigrants.
During the joint activities with law enforcement authorities of Slovakia to combat illegal migration using small aircrafts, 
Ukrainian border guards conducted a complex of search operations.
Chop border guards in collaboration with the officers of the Security Service of Ukraine, near the village of Poroshkove in 
Perechyn district, Transcarpathian region, found a sport helicopter and three people – two pilots and a local 
resident. During the detention, border guards had to make warning shots in the air because the violators were resisting. 
 It should be noted that one of the helicopter pilots was detained by officers of the State Border Guard Service for the 
third time. Most recently, he was arrested as the pilot of a plane transporting large consignment of contraband cigarettes.
Currently, joint measures to counteract the use of small aircrafts for illegal purposes at the western border continue.
