TASS also reported that two helicopters, an Mi-8AMTSh transport and an Mi-35 attack helicopter, accompanied a convoy of vehicles heading along the M4 motorway.
The Mi-8AMTSh transport helicopter moves at the distance of 5-10 km ahead of the convoy with a group of fire cover onboard. It carries out aerial reconnaissance for the emergence of militants near the highway. In its turn, the Mi-35 combat helicopter provides a rearguard for the convoy to prevent other vehicles from approaching.
