Russian army aviation is tasked with destroying Ukrainian armored vehicles, delivering troops and military cargo, as well as providing air support to units carrying out missions.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has released an army aviation video of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroying camouflaged military equipment and engineering structures of the Ukrainian Army in the Kupyansk area.
The footage shows the crews of the army aviation’s strike group launching a strike on the enemy positions with the help of the S-8 unguided air missiles.
