A KP long-guided rocket launches from the rocket pod of an Afghan National Army Air Corps Mi-35 attack helicopter May 11, 2010, over the Forward Operating Base Shank firing range. U.S. Air Force Maj. Caleb Nimmo, Mi-35 team lead assigned to the 440th Air Expeditionary Advisor Squadron, and Hungarian Air Force Maj. Szili ''Alex'' Sandor, an Mi-35 Hind E instructor pilot assigned to the Hungarian Operational Mentoring Team, fired the rocket from their aircraft during a live-fire exercise. The front of the heavily armored helicopter is fitted with a 12.7 mm Yak-B Gatling gun and can carry up to four 57 mm rocket pods for a total payload of 256 anti-tank rockets. Often called a "flying tank," the helicopter is durable, powerful and well-suited for the temperature and terrain of Afghanistan. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Staff Sgt. Manuel J. Martinez/released)
