The video, filmed on a camera fixed right next to one of the hardpoints of an Mi-35M military transport helicopter, shows the helicopter firing S-80FP Broneboyshchik (Armor Piercer) unguided rockets during a test flight.

The S-80FP is an unguided air-to-ground rocket designed to be used by attack aircraft and helicopters.
