Rosguard received the first batch of armored Mi-8AMTSH

The Russian Helicopters holding, which is part of the Rostec state corporation, delivered the first batch of military transport helicopters Mi-8AMTSH to the Rosguard, the press service of the company reported.

Machines have already arrived at their base and have begun to carry combat duty.

- said in a statement.

According to the holding, the supplied helicopters are equipped with modern radio communication and flight-navigation equipment, and a satellite navigation system is installed on them. Machines adapted to the use of night vision goggles. In addition, the main fuel tanks are filled with polyurethane foam, which prevents the explosion of fuel from small bullets weapons, and additional fuel tanks placed in the cargo compartment increase the helicopter's range to 1065 km.

Enhancing the security of helicopters when performing combat missions is achieved due to the installed set of easily removable armor plates, the presence of a device for ejecting heat traps HC-26M and equipment for setting infrared interference

- noted in the "Helicopter Rossi".

The Mi-8AMTSH military transport helicopters handed over to the Russian Guard are equipped with modern equipment that allows carrying out the tasks of ensuring public order and public safety, countering terrorism, protecting important state facilities and assisting border agencies in protecting the state border 24 hours a day.

- said deputy general director of sales holding Vladislav Savelyev.

The number of helicopters in the lot is not called, but earlier in the holding they announced plans to supply three Mi-2017AMTShs in the fourth quarter of 8.

Native! Arrives, feeds and watered, takes the “three hundredths”, fire, if necessary, supports .... He’ll get it out of hellish traffic jams, and for the flyers - in general, the honor and lifelong “thank you” from the landing ...
Long years to you of your helicopter life !!!!!!!!!
!!!

Alex, welcome

Native! Arrives, feed-watered, "three hundredth" take, fire, if necessary, support ....

I immediately remembered the song about him.

[Zoldat_A]

Serge, ! Thanks for the song - I didn’t hear it before, now I listen ... You know, Sergey, the last time I cried 20 years ago at the funerals of an army friend. And now for me, who thought that he couldn’t cry at all, a tear was knocked out. I remembered ... And after all, a person wrote who probably passed it himself, a stranger will not write like that. Or a genius equal to Vysotsky ....
Thanks again for the song, Seryozha ... .
He fought on four continents - but he was everywhere. A bow to his creators and the flyers who fly on it ...

[Svarog51]

Alexey, I’m very glad that I liked the song. Alexander Marshal "Brother". Here is his song about helicopter pilots called "Sanya".

Alexander Marshal "Brother".

Duc is Sasha Minkov ????????? I didn’t recognize by voice - I’m getting old, I guess.

I only know him by the stage name. Dial in YouTube, there seems to be a video where he sings, and not a video sequence.

Actually, the National Guard is to protect order within the country, but they are arming them like in a war.

[Razvedka_Boem]

Apparently upstairs know something that we don’t know ..
In the United States, the National Guard is also far from police forces.

[Sergej1972]

In them, in the USA, the National Guard is a reserve component of the armed forces. Our Rosguard is closer to the French gendarmerie (although there are differences in the functions performed) and Italian carabinieri.

In fact, for a quarter of a century of Russia's independence, we had two full-fledged wars inside our country. For participation in which it was necessary to attract an army - because the explosives, whose task was precisely the elimination of conflicts within the country, could not cope with this task.
By the way, at that “free and democratic” time, explosives even had tanks with artillery and MLRS. T-62 explosives participated, for example, in the assault on the village of Komsomolskoye.
And you can read the tasks of the troops of the NG of the Russian Federation - in particular, there are:

participation in ensuring regimes of emergency, martial law, the legal regime of counter-terrorism operations;
participation in the territorial defense of the Russian Federation;

Yes, Gardamir does not know where the Caucasus is and what is happening there. Maybe not local, xs.

It was necessary to serve him in the Caucasus - they would issue a state-owned TT and forward to the assault at an altitude of 3000m. And let’s leave machine guns and tanks for war, not solving tasks within the framework of the CTO

[Mikhail Zubkov]

In fact, the Russian Guard is the reserve of the RF Armed Forces of the first stage! For some reason, everyone was fixated on the fact that the security forces were included there - for that they were included, so that in the course of work, military equipment and tactics would also be studied and mastered, in the volume of MTR and Airborne Forces. Today they are not fighting with one personal small arms, and they are not moving on single cargo trucks. Helicopters are already army aviation, with its technical and flight, and logistics, i.e. rear and transport. Consequently, the Russian Guard has received the first company kit of combat Mi-8s - it pleases!

Military operations in Chechnya and Dagestan were also inside the country.

But all these measures will entail an inevitable increase in take-off weight and, as a consequence, a decrease in operational characteristics. How is this solved? Increasing the power of the power plant?

[Pete mitchell]

Jedi flight performance is always a compromise between necessary, desired and possible. AMTSh apparently was charged with support and providing round-the-clock work. Such cars appeared even in the Chechen company, it seems, they were focused on special forces: day, night, PMU SMU - it does not matter: deliver, support, pick up. There are few such machines, you need to fly more and more actively so that like Night Stalkers 160SOAR: pilot should fly it, like he stole it.

[Jedi]

Hi! I am a person far from aviation, so I simply expressed my thoughts on this topic. And to you - thanks for the explanation!

[Pete mitchell]

Jedi, we are not all-rounders - we are not "exceptional"
The formula has long been in the air and applied when helicopter pilots are permanently assigned to a specific unit. Americans have been doing this for a long time, but there is no question about sof: 160soar and others specialize in it. When it was formed, it was faced with a problem: normal pilots are not willing to fly as it should special forces. Therefore, they shouted a cry: who is ready until the end of days to fly no higher than the tops of the trees - this is to us, in night stalkers. Well trained, well equipped, well motivated. That case when peeping is not a sin, is a good experience.

All these measures are no different from the Mi-8MT equipment, the difference of the AMTS is the ATGM, and why is it the Russian Guard? And without it, it's just Mi-8MT.

Actually, in the first and second Chechen ones, native turntables with a little ring on the tail boom were sometimes pulled out of such ....... that God forbid. The removal of the wounded, the delivery of b / p, food, they all delivered to the ROPs and VOPs. And how they helped during operations! Bow to them from the VVshnoy infantry.

[stolz]

Drunks, speculators and small hooligans in shock urgently purchase MANPADS to at least somehow get away from these volatile cops and run away.

[Alexey RA]

Since when have the Vovans (well, except for the UHF / UHF) become cops?

This is for the internal troops - military operations, because they never knew others; there is no need for great intelligence and heroism to fight with their civilians.

Civilians Chechnya at the described time:

By the way, there seems to be one extraordinary person in this photo - a reference patriot, who managed to self-shoot in 2014 during detention by accidentally pulling the gun trigger (according to the official version).
Yes, and the NKVD divisions with their civilians fought? For example, the 10th Rifle Stalingrad Order of Lenin, a division of the NKVD internal troops?
