In. [94], This article is currently affected by the ongoing. Attack and transport helicopters are also valuable and highly vulnerable targets of opportunity for faster fixed-wing aircraft. This was due to a number of factors including changing front lines, or the fact that they were under pressure to provide closer ground support. "That means they can drop bombs, they can launch missiles, but they can't control the airspace over a battle." Training activities have taken on a qualitatively new character due to their complexity, including the simultaneous employment of all branches of the Air Force aviation, anti-aircraft artillery and radar troops in close teamwork with units of other armed services of the Armed Forces.
