Another as in the second or the third? And how come this is happening now, I think we haven't seen many helicopters shot down in weeks? Is it because the front line is moving relatively swiftly and the pilots aren't getting any updates?

Russia has to use air power in lieu of artillery due to the effectiveness of Ukrainian counter-battery fire. The more they get used, the more exposed they are.
