Started flight tests of the first Mi-28HM of the installation batch for MO

Flight tests of the first modernized MI-28HM combat helicopter from the installation batch for the Ministry of Defense began in Rostov-on-Don. This is reported by the blog bmpd.

The publication reports that on April this year 17 in Rostov spotter Erik Romanenko published photos the first modernized Mi-28HM installation batch built on the Rostvertol JSC for the Russian defense ministry.

The contract between the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and JSC "Helicopters of Russia" for the production of the installation batch of Mi-28НМ helicopters was concluded in December 2017. The contract stipulated that the first two military helicopters would be manufactured before the end of 2018, but the delivery of helicopters was postponed from December 2018 to the end of April 2019, said the general director of the holding company "Helicopters of Russia" (included in Rostec) Andrei Boginsky.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Minister of Defense Alexei Krivoruchko said that the Russian Ministry of Defense was discussing the volume of the first contract for Mi-28НМ - 6 or 18 machines.

The Mi-28HM is a new generation high-performance all-weather attack helicopter designed to perform a wide range of tasks. The machine was created taking into account the combat experience of the use of a helicopter in Syria. The onboard radar equipment Mi-28HM includes an innovative helmet-mounted target designation and indication system. The machine is equipped with a new radar H025, allowing to conduct a circular review, as well as a new system of electronic warfare. Mi-28HM equipped with a second set of controls, which significantly increases the survivability of the machine.

I hope the modernized car will be rolled in in Syria for example ... the experience will be very useful ...

For how many years in a row Miles claimed the uberpower of his 28s, but a couple of months in Syria showed who and how well tailored

Improving military equipment following military conflicts is a common practice. It’s strange that it caused you such emotions.

What do you mean? Who and what to whom was shown there? The machine is modified.
Now in Syria, the Mi-28NM is being tested with Hermes-A missiles at 25 km.
“However, the most interesting thing in this combination of Mi-28NM - Hermes-A is that both of them are being tested in Syria, and many media outlets are already actively circulating this news. No. It can be assumed that such systems will appear in about six months, since they are usually removed from the cockpit by the pilots themselves. But the very fact of the active use of such systems cannot but rejoice. Plus, "Hermes-A" can use a variety of types of warheads, up to to volumetric detonating, which is explained by its running-in in Syria, where the barmaley have practically no equipment left. "

Most likely from Syria and made conclusions in this car.

[Borik]

Six helicopters is not even funny, and 18 will not be enough. even though it will be the first order and preferably not the last one, then conversations will begin again that there is no more money.

[Zaurbek]

Likely, then they will bring the Mi-28 combatant during the modernization ...

it is obvious that the first batch, on the basis of the operation of which further decisions will be made.

[Zaurbek]

Helmet pilot there is probably a similar helmet for the Su57?

[URAL72]

No, a helmet for a helicopter has simpler and much cheaper options. For example, an airplane helmet should "compensate for the separation of the head" during ejection, but on turntables, a "catapult" is very rare, and the speed is not the same. If all women are the same, then why pay more?

[Zaurbek]

There, electronics is the most expensive .... but I agree.

flight tests of the first modernized combat helicopter MI-28NM

there, modernization consists of replacing electronics and a sub-muzzle radar (the sphere above the blades). The MI-28NM should already be in abundance in the troops and we have all the tests. Involuntarily thoughts of enemies of the people come to mind.
Nothing contributes to the completion of military equipment as its military exploitation. Perfectionism is that before you put the equipment in the army should be perfect carry the threat that everything will remain so in prototypes and several copies.
We would have nothing to upgrade stupidly if the USSR were so slowly releasing military equipment as today's Russia.

In general, looking at the pace of rearmament of the army, we can confidently say that Russia in most areas is not able to provide mass serial production of new weapons, only small batches.
When the defense industry complex is only able to produce 43 "caliber" missiles in a whole quarter, what kind of confrontation with the West do we hope for? So that they will get scared by several missiles and run away, those who can afford to transfer more than 100 cruise missiles to bombing the desert will run away?

Any military confrontation previously depended on how quickly the country was able to mass produce military equipment and ammunition, as well as equipment in the troops and in warehouses (military potential). Now, military confrontation depends only on how much equipment is in the troops and warehouses.

[Bull Terrier]

Normal pace. There is a plan for it and everything goes. We are not a union. And this is generally a new modification. She was shown normally only last year. I’m silent about calibers. Where is more? According to your figures, this is more than 120 per year. Where to put them? Carriers are, as it were, being built longer.

Yes, we are richer than the USSR at times, it’s just that our money does not go to the state treasury but to private pockets.

in the sense you think that the ammunition should be one volley?

Quote: Bull Terrier

completion of the Soviet backlog. New will be "Zircons"

[Bull Terrier]

The stock is also going. There are few carriers. In the states of 2500 in my opinion a total of pieces. Together. We don’t need so much.

In total, about 220 rotorcraft were built last year at Russian helicopter plants, which are part of the Russian Helicopters holding, compared to 214 helicopters in 2017.
Helicopters are now quite good, unlike airplanes, especially civilian ones.

Helicopters are now quite good, unlike airplanes, especially civilian ones.

They are also engaged in civilian aircraft: the short-range IL-114-300, the medium-range MS-21-200 / 300/400 and the long-range wide-body IL-96-400M.

[URAL72]

I am aware, but I did not speak about prospects, but about production today.

The first IL-96-400M is assembled at VASO. MS-21s are being tested but due to composites along the wings, a right shift for 2 years. PD-14 is completely ready. Its small-scale production is deployed. The serial production of IL-114-300 is scheduled for 2022.

[URAL72]

Again, I am aware, I read "take off" and not only. It was about the manufactured equipment, I personally unsubscribed for 2018. Your lack of understanding is surprising.

you can’t argue with this, but what did you want after 20 years of purposefully ruining the industry, where will it suddenly come from now? everywhere there is almost manual assembly therefore the pace is such, more or less modernized the production of air defense, mainly due to large export orders

[Tektor]

Shock power!

The total increase in 6 cars is pretty good with virtual machines. But how much did they cost the parts they came in? Again, twice as expensive?
