Mi-35 attack helicopter crews destroy camouflaged command posts and armoured vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Helicopters moved in combat spread to ensure free manoeuvring and piloting, with the formation changing during flight.
Russian pilots are skilled at dodging hostile fire. Modern technology, on-board defence systems, and, of course, the incredible expertise gained by the crews during the special military operation all help.
Viktor, a commander of Mi-35 crew, has been involved in the special military operation since February last year. In that time, he has flown more than 300 sorties. The young pilot, a recipient of the Order of Courage, notes that this figure is an estimate.
During the special military operation, helicopter crews from the Western Military District continue to carry out missions to destroy AFU armour and military infrastructure, escort military convoys, deliver airborne troops and military cargo, and provide air support to troops.@mod_russia_en
