That is not Carpet Bombing.....lol
THIS is Carpet Bombing....

I'd like to see Putin go nuke on them.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

A Deplorable!
Helicopters dont carpet bomb.... They are most effective at attacking individual ground targets at a distance. This makes them good against formations of armor units where multiple helicopters take on targets one at a time with missiles similar to the AGM-114 HELLFIRE or Russian 9k114 Shturm anti-tank Missiles. Choppers are the snipers of air warfare. They can never "Carpet Bomb" an area in large formations like bombers can. They just cant carry enough munitions.
so for true carpet bombing there is only one weapon, the Strategic Bomber like the B-1/B-2/B-52 or the TU-160 or to a much lesser extent TU-95. The Russian Air Force has 13 active TU-160's and the TU-95's and their variants are obsolete and used for Recon Missions and ASW roles.
The Majority of the Russian Bomber force is comprised of the obsolete "Backfire" Bomber TU-22M of which there are less than 100 in active service.
and TU-22m's cant carry anywhere near enough to be effective Carpet Bombers... They were designed to carry Nuclear weapons at supersonic speeds.
yes... some of us are well versed in Russian Military Hardware .... and we're hardly impressed by it. They are crudely built, badly Maintained and mostly obsolete.
The best piece of Hardware the Russians ever made was the AK-47... That cant carpet bomb either.

Which you cant do with Helicopters...
But you can do it with JDAMS and B-52's.. Ask the Republican Guard how that worked for them in Iraq.... B-52 strikes scared them more than almost anything... The USS Wisconsin (BB-64) scared them in the First Gulf war more....

An air strike is a strike against a specific building. Saturation bombing is against an area where you know there is enemy activity but you don't know their specific location.
