The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage of Ka-29 and Mi-8 assault and transport choppers launching strikes at targets in the waters of the Crimean Peninsula.
Russia's aviation has been relentlessly decimating Ukrainian military equipment on a daily basis. Furthermore, helicopter crews are honing their skills in combat flights, effectively annihilating small sea targets.
"Our onboard armament enables us to fulfill these tasks. A combat mission always requires ingenuity, so I wouldn't say that any idiosyncrasies of piloting are present; we have been trained and equipped for this purpose, so we are simply doing our job... Flying over the sea is always challenging, which is precisely why we are naval aviators. It is our duty to traverse the skies above the ocean," remarked one of the pilots.
