A Mil-24 helicopter circling above the Shaumyan region during Operation Ring. This footage is from Bulgarian journalist Svetana Paskaleva's documentary "Karabakh's Wounds", originally aired in Russian but also translated into Armenian, when she was present in the towns of Getashen, Martunashen and Bozluq in 1991 and the rest of Nagorno-Karabakh during the war.

The purpose of this screenshot is to illustrate the event in question (i.e. the presence of the Soviet armed forces in Shahumian), is at a much lower resolution of the original video airing and its inclusion significantly gives the reader a greater understanding of the events surrounding the operation, such as what capacity the military served in Operation Ring.
