Baltic Fleet Aviation replenished with "Night Hunters" and "Alligators"

By the end of the year, the Russian Navy will receive Mi-28N “Night Hunter” and Ka-52 “Alligator” combat helicopters. Previously, these rotorcraft were supplied only to the Russian Aerospace Forces. Cars will arrive at the base of the sea aviation Of the Baltic fleet, reported News.

According to experts, in the conditions of the Baltic Sea with its short distances, attack helicopters will become universal and formidable. weapons. They will be able "not only to support ground troops and marines, but also successfully fight against ships of various classes."

As reported in the command of the Navy, the decision to purchase Mi-28Н and Ka-52 for the needs of Naval Aviation (MA) has already been made. It is planned that “before the end of the year, the first vehicles will go into service with the 125-th separate helicopter squadron of MA Baltic Fleet”. However, it is possible that the rearmament dates may be shifted.

The flight range of the Ka-52 and Mi-28 allows to cover a fairly large part of the Baltic Sea. These machines can operate from ground airfields. They will easily cope with the support of landing ships, as well as be able to patrol the Russian territorial waters. Helicopters can operate in bad weather conditions at extremely low altitudes. This makes them a challenging target for ships' anti-aircraft systems. In turn, the airborne armament of the "Alligators" and "Night Hunters" makes it possible to cause serious damage to ships of the "Corvette" class. And for missile and amphibious boats, a meeting with the Mi-28Н and Ka-52 will be deadly,

told the newspaper military historian Dmitry Boltenkov.

Currently, the 125-I separate helicopter squadron is part of the 7054-th naval aviation base. Based in the area of ​​Kaliningrad. In addition to the shock machines, the airbase Mi-8AMTSH will also be included in the air base. Currently, the squadron is armed with 10 Mi-24VP and Mi-8 of various modifications.

Is there anything anti-ship in the nomenclature of weapons?

... Syria has brought much of the experience of the war ... and helicopters have shown that they are not in vain occupying a niche in the VKS, and now they will be in the Navy ... it is gratifying to hear this, and soon to see ...

And to them in support of the K-52 Katran. In fact, an anti-shipable helicopter with excellent performance. When installed on it, avionics will allow the launch of anti-ship missiles X-31 and X-35. This is essentially the weapons of a front-line attack aircraft. For the little Baltic, the very thing. Large ships do not exist there.

You are all evil, you want to permanently destroy the ecology of the Baltic. Complete with any equipment for the Russian Armed Forces, it is necessary to immediately supply anti-diarrhea drugs and antidepressants to Russia's neighbors in the Baltic

There used to be lighting and propaganda bombs. Now you can first use antipersonnel to prepare.
