As can be seen from the frames presented, Russian Mi-35M helicopters inflicted tremendous damage on the militants, not only firing missiles at the camp, but also firing at them with double-barreled aircraft cannons. According to preliminary data, the bodies of dozens of terrorists were found on the site of the former camp, and as the source emphasizes, only a few managed to escape.

In the near future, 12 shock helicopters Mi-35M will appear in the arsenal of Nigeria - the contract for their delivery was concluded in 2014 and 2015.
