Which rotary-wing attack tactic is delivered while the aircraft is at altitude and in descending forward flight?

The tactic known as Diving Fire is characterized by the rotary-wing aircraft flying at a higher altitude and then descending towards its target while maintaining forward speed. This method allows the aircraft to leverage its speed and altitude to deliver effective fire on the target while minimizing exposure to enemy defenses. The combination of altitude and descent provides an element of surprise and enhances the accuracy of the engagement, making it difficult for adversaries to predict and counter the attack.

In contrast, Hovering Fire involves the aircraft remaining stationary in the air, which puts it at greater risk from enemy fire due to its lack of movement. Running Fire, on the other hand, typically involves an aircraft flying at a lower altitude and at full speed, often in a level flight, rather than descending. None of the Above does not apply as Diving Fire is indeed a recognized tactic within rotary-wing operations.
