Original source even better, also includes 360° fullscreen viewer for all images: http://www.airpano.ru/360Degree-VirtualTour-inactive.php?3D=...

6-rotor helicopter used by Ridus/AirPano team: http://www.airpano.ru/files/bolotnaya_1.jpg

Aerial video: http://rccam.livejournal.com/50143.html (jump to 3m00s to see how the flare rocket fired from the crowd below just barely missed the helicopter)

+ flare rocket shot in the general direction of the helicopter, view from the ground: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIxFjds55U0&t=2m47s

Also, regarding the second helicopter. The Ria Novosti video linked in the article seems was later removed and another one uploaded instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dryUQ_192cc (mirror http://ria.ru/tv_society/20111210/512347323.html)

This new video is slightly longer, but the part about Ria Novosti staff operating their (quadrotor) helicopter is no longer there.
