February 11 2019 21

The upgraded heavy helicopter Mi-26Т2В, developed in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense, in the second quarter of this year will be released to state tests. This was announced by Andrei Boginsky, Director General of the Russian Helicopters holding company (part of Rostec).

State tests of the Mi-26Т2В helicopter for the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation will begin in the second quarter

In the second quarter we plan to transfer the car to state tests.

- said Boginsky.

The program of state joint tests is developed jointly by the holding and the Ministry of Defense.

As previously reported, the first flight of the upgraded Mi-26Т2В helicopter took place in August 2018, and the preliminary tests, which confirmed the characteristics embedded in the car, were completed in January of this year. Serial shipments to the military are scheduled to begin this year.

The new Mi-26Т2В helicopter differs from the basic Mi-26 model by the presence of an integrated on-board radio-electronic equipment complex, which is able to automatically perform en-route flight, exit to a predetermined point, landing approach, as well as preparatory maneuvering and return to the main or alternate aerodromes. In addition, the helicopter is equipped with a digital aerobatic complex, an onboard defense complex "Vitebsk".

With a maximum take-off weight of up to 56 and a helicopter, the helicopter can lift into the air 20 and cargo, both inside the cabin and on the external sling.

  For our vast territories, this "turntable" is a very necessary thing .. It's a pity that we are not creating something new, but using the developments of the USSR.
  And liberalism is still hating the Soviet, well, gentlemen ..

      The legacy is good, but when will our PD-12V be put on this helicopter? It’s like they’re making the engine when it’s tested? Who knows?

    Plus to all, if I’m not mistaken, to all the differences - this is also a reduction in the crew, which is also important.

      Well, the main exploiter of this machine - Algeria has now ordered as many as 14 Mi-26T2. Following Jordan - 2 Mi-26Т2. Well, the MO finally stopped saving on matches, ordering ancient boards with 5 crew people and 80's avionics. And ordered the export version of T2 for myself

      Like: "Nafig navigators, if there is electronics?"
      So I don’t understand why the deputies and senators will not be replaced with computers? And half of the officials, managers?

        That's right - see all this automation. We must navigate the stars like ancestors!
        
        The Moscow Region stopped ordering this with the replacement of some units - the production of which was discontinued after the collapse of the USSR.

        And it began to order this - and the helicopter itself for the most part came by itself. Since the modification was developed partly for budget money (they started 10 years ago), partly for money from Rostvertol and Mi under export contracts, partly (finalization) for money from the Algerian contract for 14 helicopters.

    just sometimes there is a limit. Glider limit. etc. It's easier to put a new engine and avionics. it is cost effective.
    the technology is developed, there are spare parts, people work
    
    you can develop a super helicopter but it will go away ... you know what.

      Is the helicopter on Ukrainian engines now? They took it from the reserve. PD-12V seems to be promising. But the question is when?

        As RB delivered different engines and deliver. (Money to all)
        There are no prohibitions on export orders for MS - they deliver the country to the buyer.
        Judging by the information from MS, the main customer is China. (Myanmar and the Republic of Belarus, the UAE are as follows)

  drone if the crew is not combat ready. I do not understand this. these are pacemakers ... I'm not a doctor.
  so that the board returned to the base.
  But for mi26 do you need this?
  This is a transport helicopter and not attack.
