Multi-purpose attack helicopters and the fire support group of the army aviation in action Here is the footage of the combat work of the crews of multi-purpose attack helicopters and the fire support group of the army aviation of the Western Military District. During the special military operation, the helicopter crews continue to carry out the tasks of destroying armoured vehicles and military infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, escorting military columns, delivering troops, military cargo, air support for units. All flights take place at extremely low altitude. Requests for support from Russian motorised riflemen or tankers from the front line come several times during the day or night shift. The servicemen of the army aviation fire support groups are tasked with escorting military convoys and humanitarian cargo along public roads. They cover army aviation helicopters from the air, observe objects and vehicles on the ground, and identify enemy firing points while patrolling the area. Also, military personnel, risking their own lives, often help to evacuate civilians from liberated settlements from the front line of defence, cover them when approaching and loading on board helicopters, and carry out fire impact in case of emergency situations when evacuating personnel from the ground. Groups change several times a day in order to perform their tasks in the sky without interruption. While some crews are just returning from a combat mission, others are already preparing to take off. In the take-off and landing mode, the airfield operates non-stop. Each combat mission is preceded by scrupulous pre-flight preparation. Join Military Wave Источник: Military Wave
