Multipurpose attack helicopter Mi-24. Infographics

The Mi-24 is one of the fastest attack helicopters in the world. In horizontal flight, the car with full ammunition easily reaches speeds of up to 335 km / h. However, this indicator for the Mi-24 - not the ceiling. In 1978, the modified board set an absolute speed record for helicopters: 368,4 km / h.

The helicopter is designed for the transfer of manpower and its fire support on the battlefield. He is able to follow at extremely low altitudes, which in the conditions of mountainous terrain allows for a latent approach to the enemy's position. A combat helicopter “emerges” from behind a rock or a hill, after which it attacks the enemy with the use of rocket, artillery and bomb weapons.

In terms of combat load, the Apache is not even close, according to other indicators it is approximately the same except for the ceiling, but the American is 13 years younger and his price tag is sky-high compared to MI-24.

And it costs like four Mi-24

Does Apache have an airborne compartment for 8 people, as in the comparison chart?

Judging by the table, yes!

[MAD_SERGANT]

EEE people, the table indicates that Apache has up to 8 troops ?! On an external sling chtoli?

[north]

Yes, probably on the wings, instead of spare tanks, and the weight distribution will not be violated))

I am ashamed to ask the experts: what is the "statistical ceiling", which is indicated in the last picture (the fifth line from the bottom)? ;)

[KOPA]

This is the maximum height that a rotorcraft can achieve with vertical take-off. This indicator is also called the ceiling hanging. After reaching the theoretical ceiling, the helicopter lacks engine power and propeller thrust for climb.

The Mi-24 just constantly lacked the power of a jerk. And he flew below the passenger Mi-8 (this is important - there was once a case in Afghanistan when the Mi-8 pass passed, but the crocodile did not pass, I had to go far). And yet, it seems, he could not take both the landing and the combat load. In this sense, the Ka-29 is much better.
