Photo Of The Day: Above you can see a soldier opening fire with one of Mother Russia’s Kalashnikovs.

Below: The soldiers arrive by helicopters, and once on the ground they continue to secure the area.

I think the helicopter is a Mil Mi-8, which is available in large numbers and used in a variety of both military and civil roles. The model is one of the most produced helicopters in the World.

Helicopter number 84 is on the ground. Exit quickly and continue with the mission!

The pod on the right side could potentially host two PKMs.

Above: It is probably a good idea to have the door of the helicopter closed if the rocket launcher is being used.

You have just seen TFB’s Photo Of The Day, where we try to find the best pictures related to firearms for your viewing pleasure.

    I know this is a firearm forum, but for the sake of accuracy the birds the troops came in is an Mi-17. Not an Mi-8. There's a difference.
