Strafe Run

The Strafe Run is a nine point Strike Chain reward in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Once obtained, this reward allows the player to call in five Attack Helicopters on a designated an area of the map. The helicopters will sweep over that area of the map twice before exiting. The helicopters are targetable by SAM Turrets, do not release any flares, and players can destroy each helicopter with a single rocket from a launcher. Each helicopter destroyed adds a point towards your Strike Chain. It is possible to destroy a whole strafing run before it leaves the map. Destroyed helicopters will not affect the journey of the rest of the helicopters. This point streak is affected by the players faction, usually it varies between a AH-1W Super Cobra and a Mi-24 Hind.
