Amour, speed, and firepower: Mi-35 multipurpose attack helicopters in action in special military operation

🚁 To escape detection by enemy air defenses, the Mi-35 multipurpose attack helicopters fly at speeds exceeding 200 km/h at extremely low altitudes. The earth is only five to seven metres away.

💥 The aircraft abruptly lifts its nose up, gaining height, and launches 80mm unguided aerial missiles just before a forested region.

◽️ This is known as the nose-up pitch among pilots. It is used to launch unguided rockets to distant targets. For the enemy, this manoeuver comes as a complete surprise: the helicopter appears out of nowhere, emerging from behind trees.
