The Iraqi Army is using its new attack choppers to hunt terrorists around Samarra and Fallujah.
The Iraqi Army operates around 40 Mi-35 gunships and Mi-28NE attack helicopters that it received from Russia in recent years.
Along with the AC-208 Combat Caravan, a COIN (Counter Insurgency) version of the civilian Cessna 208 Grand Caravan aircraft equipped with Hellfire missiles, the choppers are used for border patrol and anti-terrorist operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), a terrorist group particularly active in the area of Fallujah, Ramadi, and Mosul.
On June 6, ISIS militants stormed the city of Samarra before being ousted by Iraqi military airstrikes.
The following video, released by the Iraqi Army, reportedly shows the Mi-35 gunships attacking a convoy near Samarra, and was most probably filmed by an AC-208 Combat Caravan.
Iraq is getting a lot more new hardware, including 36 F-16 Block 52 multi-role planes.
