On June 12, the Russian Defense Ministry released a video showing Mi-24 and Mi-8 military helicopters maneuvering and striking mock targets on the ground during a recent naval drill in Russia’s westernmost Kaliningrad region.
The video shows Mi-8 helicopters along with larger Mi-24 gunships can be seen flying alongside the Baltic Sea coastline and later hitting ground targets with guns and missiles. The defense ministry added that the helicopters completed over 30 flights during the drill.
The filmed helicopters are a part of the Russian Baltic Sea Fleet.
