An Mi-35 attack helicopter fires during a gunnery training mission May 27 over the East River Range Complex near Bagram Air Base. This mission was the first time 57 mm rockets and the 12.7 mm cannon have been fired by the Afghan National Army Air Corps in more than eight years, and will eventually allow the Afghans to provide their own close air support.
