It's been a while since I've seen any helicopters getting shot down. It doesn't seem like Russia uses them as much as they did in the beginning.
I guess its hard to shoot them down as they fly low and do untargetted over borizon fire before running back woth tail between their legs. That goes for both sides, but i seen more helicopters lost when they were stationary
Likely lots of factors.
Not only longer range but also highly mobile air defense supplied by NATO countries specially designed to take on helicopters.
