The crews of the Alligator helicopters provide round-the-clock air fire support

The crews of Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopters around the clock destroy strongholds of militants, columns of equipment that deliver ammunition, fuel and food to the line of contact.

Also strikes are made on stationary and moving targets, armoured personnel carriers, tanks, crews roaming on pickup trucks equipped with NATO mortars, sabotage groups, and sapper units. Attack helicopters operate in mixed teams. The Alligators remain the main striking force. The attack and reconnaissance helicopters Mi-28 Night Hunter and Mi-8 with a group of fire support on board are involved in their cover.

A special role in the performance of combat missions is assigned to the navigators of vehicles. Often, due to changes in the line of contact, adjustment of tasks or attempts by the enemy to return fire, navigators change their route already in flight. Taking into account the fact that helicopters fly at the minimum allowable height, at a speed of more than 300 kilometres per hour, the Alligator has to lay a new route in a matter of seconds.
