Drone video released by Ukrainian sources shows a Czech Mi-24V attack helicopter that was donated to the Ukrainian Air Force conducting an unguided rocket attack against Russian positions.

For a quick recap, this style of attack is done by the pilots knowing the approximate range of their rockets, and flying at a specific heading with a known target. When you see attacks like this, the pilots are essentially using their rockets as super mobile artillery platforms. While not as accurate as actual artillery, we wouldn't be seeing this style of attack from both sides unless it was at least marginally effective.
