Helps to engage Irish artist to depict attacks from above (3-5)

'depict attacks from above' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'helps to engage irish artist' is the wordplay.
'helps' becomes 'aids' ('aid' can be a synonym of 'help').
'to engage' indicates putting letters inside (some letters get engaged in others).
'irish' becomes 'IR' (abbreviation for Irish).
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'ir'+'ra'='irra'
'aids' placed around 'irra' is 'AIR-RAIDS'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
