Mortars against helicopters

I was playing with a few scenarios trying to figure out the best way to deal with soviet helicopters.To my surprise, even mortars engage helicopters. The hit chance is given as 4%. Really!?
I downed 3 Hinds in this specific scenario, one with the 7.62 on the Warrior at reasonably close range, another again with a 7.62, but this time mounted on a tank. Last one with off-map artillery!They fired multiple times until they got it.

But as I mentioned before the most surprising was the mortar team trying to hit the Hind, from more than 4km away with the 81mm mortar!!!

Ironically my 3 Javelin teams did not fire once, for one reason or another!

There is a small chance of helos getting hit if they are on the move through a shelled hex, and it is a slightly bigger chance it they are sitting still. ICM being a cluster munition, can also wreck them pretty fast with all of the submunitions.
