The upgraded version of the Mi-24P helicopter was presented at the MAX-2019

At the MAKS-2019 International Aviation and Space Salon, which started today in Zhukovsky, Rostec Corporation presented a modernized version of the Mi-24P-1M transport and combat helicopter. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.

According to Rostec, during the modernization, the Mi-24P-1M helicopter received a modern unified aerobatic sighting and navigation system, a new optical-electronic sighting system, an autopilot, a new airborne defense complex and a radar with AFAR. At the same time, due to the use of modern digital technologies in equipment, it was possible to reduce the mass of an empty helicopter by 430 kg.

In addition, the modernized Mi-24P-1M significantly expanded the list of weapons used by introducing various types of guided missiles into the armament.

The upgraded Mi-24P-1M helicopter in its combat effectiveness is not inferior to modern helicopters of the latest generation. New electronics allowed to increase the combat survivability and impact power of the helicopter

- the press service of the state corporation said.

Mi-24 (according to NATO classification: Hind - "Lan") - Soviet / Russian attack helicopter developed by the Design Bureau M. L. Mil. The unofficial name is "Crocodile". The serial release began in 1971 year. The Mi-24P model differs from the base Mi-24 model by the presence of the GSH-30K gun placed on the starboard in the fixed installation НПУ-30. The serial release began in 1981 year. Exported as MI-35P.

The helicopter is designed for the transfer of units of the ground forces, the evacuation of the wounded and fire support on the battlefield.

I hope to see a video review of the air show on the site! !!

In my opinion, this modernization (lightened by 430 kg) of the Mi-24P will be better than the previous modernization of the Mi-35 with "clipped" wings.

[Lipchanin]

Scary and beautiful at the same time.

that's what "Doe" is ... defenseless and tender? Crocodile!!! he is .. terrible and strong

Somehow, but I'm still for the gun in the movable turret ...

of course it’s, only you can’t put a GSh-30K gun in a turret, either super precision or power

[cat Rusich]

Mi-28 30mm 2A42 - firing sector in the azimuth of 110 degrees, in the place of +13 ...- 40 degrees.

2A42 - firing sector in the azimuth of 110 degrees, in the place of +13 ...- 40 degrees.

This is all good, but the 9-A-623 has two trunks, a higher rate of fire, when firing in bursts (3000 versus 500 rpm / min), especially long ones, the helicopter takes off course and pitch due to the impact of recoil. Therefore, the closer the gun to the center of gravity of the helicopter, the less the yaw at the course when shooting, and in the movable turret it is, as you see, far removed from the hull.

[cat Rusich]

My opinion. At the place where the Mi-24 VM has a GSh-23L gun - put the AGS (you can also 40mm) and larger BC. For work on the ground (pilot-shooter). The 30mm cannon is fixedly mounted, it is only needed for guidance by the entire body (like an attack aircraft), this is already a question about the tactics of using a helicopter ...

well, between us girls, saying, the AGS machine is good (for the infantry), but compared to the GSh-23L, it is also a "splitter" with its initial speed of 225 m / s versus 700. This is how close you need to fly up to the object, and the armor penetration is low. And then, where did you decide. that there will be more BC? Okay, I give you three crosses for your opinion, and I sleep

[cat Rusich]

I explain why AGS. For armored vehicles there are - S-80FP "Armor-fighter", Shturm-V or Attack-M, 30mm cannon. To work on infantry on the ground, you will need an AGS-30 or AGS-40 "Balkan". The point is that it will not be possible to aim at the flight speed - the AGS allows an error in aiming (for the radius of dispersion of the fragments). Bigger BC is a "good" wish ...

there are NURSy for this

[Zaurbek]

What place is Afar in?

[Nikolay R-PM]

In the photo for the article, the usual p-shka. Judging by the photo from the site of the "Russian newspaper" they removed the radio equipment of the "rainbow" and put a ball of goes. It seems to me that this modification will direct the guns along a laser beam (like the assault complex for the Ka-52), and the radar will be used to search for targets outside the range of the GOES and transmit the angular coordinates of targets to it.
But reducing the mass of an empty helicopter without modifications to the fuselage and the supporting system by 430 kg, only by replacing the guidance station and other breo seems to me optimistic. Is rainbow radio so heavy?

On the other hand, this modification can solve the problem of modernizing the existing fleet of p-shek.

What the hell doe? A crocodile is a crocodile. A strong and dangerous predator.
I’m glad that they don’t write off it, but decided to upgrade it. I like it very much. Mi-24 (Crocodile), KA-50 (Black Shark), KA-52 (aligator) is a good company

[bars1]

Apparently this sample in terms of avionics is steeper than the Mi-28NE and Ka-52.
