The first multi-purpose Mi-38T entered the troops for trial operation

The Ministry of Defense received the first Mi-38T military transport helicopter; by the end of the year, the military will receive a second similar aircraft. About this in an interview with RIA News said CEO of Russian Helicopters Andrei Boginsky.

According to Boginsky, Russian Helicopters handed over to the Ministry of Defense the first Mi-38T transport and landing helicopter; it is in trial operation. The military will receive a second helicopter of this type during December 2019.

She (the machine) is in trial operation. By the end of the year we will transfer (...) the second

he said, without specifying when the first helicopter was handed over.

Last year, Boginsky stated that the first Mi-38T multi-purpose helicopter is planned to be transferred to the Ministry of Defense in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The medium multipurpose helicopter Mi-38 occupies a niche between the Mi-8 and the heavy Mi-26 and can be used for the transport of goods and passengers, used as a search and rescue helicopter, as well as for flights over the water surface. The Mi-38T (troop carrier) is the military version of the Mi-38.

The Mi-38T helicopter is equipped with new highly efficient TV7-117В domestic engines and an integrated digital flight-navigation system.

The flight range of the Mi-38T in the transport configuration is up to 1000 kilometers (with additional fuel tanks). With a maximum take-off weight of 15,6 tons, the helicopter is capable of taking five tons of payload on board or on an external sling.

The people, for which they rolled onto a colleague, did he say something stupid? Proved by practice: we need specially prepared helicopters, which are in small quantities; and trained pilots, koi too.
Let's refer to the experience of creating the famous 160soar "Night Stalkers", which serves SOF. At one time, they were faced with the fact that a normal pilot did not meet their requirements and shouted a cry: who is ready to fly without ever climbing above the treetops ... Their motto is: pilot should fly it, like he stole it ...
All this is in the Russian Federation, it is only necessary to introduce real experience. And many will be scared to go to bed ....

This is perhaps the most important thing. Dependence on Svidomo components is very annoying.

[Sky strike fighter]

Another interesting innovation in the military. The military Internet has earned.

Russian missile systems "Iskander" connected to the "military Internet". Now the calculation of the installation in real time will begin to receive a ready flight mission and in a minute will be ready to attack the target.
According to the Izvestia newspaper, both the commander of a separate platoon and the Minister of Defense can manage the Iskander - an order can be issued both from the front edge of the front line and from the National Defense Management Center in Moscow. Such a fire control system, according to experts, will seriously increase the effectiveness of tactical systems.
According to the publication, tests of the new control system for operational-tactical missile systems (OTRK) Iskander took place this fall at the base of one of the brigades of the Western Military District.

Control of the feasibility of target designation) and recorded on a special storage medium. P.z. delivered to the troops along with a combat document issued in the form of a book (or two books), which is an order of the Strategic Missile Forces Commander to set up a control system, combat unit automation and missile aiming according to this P.Z. Entering P.Z. the equipment of the combat missile complex is carried out by the appropriate commission when the missile is ready for combat use or when changing combat missions - when re-aiming the missile.

Is it "very annoying" is that, not completely Russian-made aircraft engines, already without "Svidomo components" ?!
After all, from the Zaporozhye Motor Sich, it seems, by agreement with Buslaev, they moved the production of TV7-117V to St. Petersburg and many Zaporozhye engine builders moved there ?!

[2Albert]

Not Buslaev but Boguslavets, not TV7-117, but TV3-117 and not to Peter but wanted to go to Kazan for KMPO, but in the end at KMPO they left only the kit for VK-2500.

[beeper]

Thank you for your clarification, Comrade 2Albert!
He also wrote, hesitated, and then finally remembered that Boguslaev!
He now has continuous "negarazdy" - in power, in the deputies of the ZRada, he did not pass (some street kid-photographer, who accidentally signed up for the Zelenkin "servants of the enemies of the people", bypassed him "on the clown hype") ... now with all sides, especially the Americans, are squeezed by the business, under the pretext of "ties with an aggressive aggressor and proactive Chinese", and it's time to think about the Soul at this age - a man rushed about ...
It is a pity, if it was not possible to move the production of these tested helicopter engines to Russia, in Ukraine, under banderlogs, they will soon have a "haplyk"!

http://klimov.ru/media/news/100000985/

12.04.2012/2500/XNUMX // The first VK-XNUMXPS are sent for flight tests
The VK-2500PS turboshaft engine is a further modernization of the well-proven VK-2500 engine, developed by Klimov in the early 2000s.
The main difference of this engine is the use of a modern electronic automatic control system such as FADEC and surge protection. Thanks to new design solutions, the VK-2500PS will provide even more reliable operation of helicopter equipment not only in areas with a temperate climate, but, which is especially important, in areas with high temperatures and in high altitude conditions.
The development of VK-2500PS began in 2011 and will last until mid-2013. After testing and obtaining a type certificate in 2013, the VK-2500PS engine will be put into mass production in the new design and production complex of Klimov OJSC in Shuvalovo (Primorsky district of St. Petersburg). Klimov is developing new engines at his own expense.
At the same time, VK-2500 PS Klimov OJSC, by order of the Ministry of Defense, is developing a VK-2500P engine designed for use as part of the Ka-52 (Alligator) and Mi-28N (Night Hunter) military helicopters.

And the helicopter itself is good.

Here it is, the receiver of old man Mi 8! It is high time! Good luck and that would be the number of take-offs equal to the number of landings!))

[Usher]

Mi-8/17 of a healthy person. I don’t understand, it was presented back in 89, it took more than 20 years than they started to produce it somehow? So difficult? Why produce old helicopters (Mi-8/17) when there is a Mi-38 for a long time? It’s not clear to me. It’s like if you invented fire, and you eat raw meat.

[Monar]

And who told you that they are giving up the Mi-8?

The Mi-38 medium multipurpose helicopter occupies a niche between the Mi-8 and the heavy Mi-26

did they start to produce it somehow? So difficult?

Yes.

[Usher]

Why are you making up my words for me? Here show where I wrote about REFUSAL? In which place? Can you read? Understand the meaning of words, etc.? If you do not understand, then I’ll chew. This helicopter was developed even more than 20 years ago, 20 years ago !!! Carl !!! 20, not 5 years, but more than 20 years old !!! And for this enormous amount of time, for some reason they were produced obsolete today, not at the end of the 80s, but today. Mi-8/17. When is CARL !!!! The MI-38 was DESIGNED. What incomprehensible did I write and ask?

[Monar]

And who told you that the Mi-8 is out of date? And that its modernization is not modern (pun intended however ..)?
Do you have any idea how much it costs to bring to mind and put a technique into a series of such a level? But this is still half the battle. There must be buyers. With real money.
So much for 20 years. I'm generally surprised that the Mi-38 began to do.

This is what they say now, but in general he was conceived precisely as a replacement for the Mi-8. And the fact that it is a little more powerful is the general trend of technological progress in everything.

[knn54]

We need to land a platoon of soldiers with equipment. The Mi-8 will not be able to handle, and the 26 is clearly redundant. I think that the 38 is a worthy competitor to the French Airbus Helicopters H225 on the foreign market.

[2Albert]

First of all, the flight range and reduced requirements for meteorological conditions. But most importantly, the Mi-38 in terms of survivability, safety and power reserve is noticeably superior to the Mi-8/17

[Zaurbek]

[RUSS]

Small stars painted up, it was necessary more than half a helicopter))))

[Nikolay R-PM]

fatefully drew the fate curve of this car. It was created on instructions from the Ministry of Civil Aviation to complement the Mi-8MT fleet in the national economy. Then the collapse of the Union and the civilian customer was not up to it.
The current Russian civilian operators are either pushing the resource mi-8t / mt with might and main, or (who can afford it) take new mtv / amt. Despite the Mi-38 type certificate, its main units have not yet been tested by mass and long-term operation like mt-shek, and especially t-shek. In the civilian market, the mi-38, in spite of the obvious advantages over the eight (a large cargo compartment, a large payload, doorways meet modern safety requirements and higher horizontal flight speeds) will not find a niche, because it is more expensive due to the lack of a series and cannot boast of the same level of sophistication of the structure and assemblies.
and KVZ even such single deliveries are necessary to maintain the MI-38 program. this plant has invested quite a lot of its own funds for pilot helicopters to be assembled and flight tests conducted, and this perseverance should be rewarded even if a small but transferred to operation party. At the moment, this is the most profitable option for the development of the Mi-38 helicopter program.
Returning to the beginning of the commentary: it was created for the citizen, and the operation began in a lapid camouflage ...

[Private-K]

Mi-38 stillborn project.
The Russian Aerospace Forces will not buy it in any significant quantity.
It’s high time for the management of the holding to stop tormenting this project and tackle the redesign of the Mi-8 fuselage in the style of Mi-18 / -38.

[beeper]

According to the configuration (especially the lower part) of the fuselage, a rational approach is seen — simplification of the contours in concern for ease of maintenance in operation and manufacturability, material saving, reduction of production time and cost.
Such "belly" and sides of the cabin will be easily protected with easily removable flat armor panels of a simple configuration, or even include armor protection in the power set, further strengthening the bottom of the cargo compartment - a good design groundwork for modernization.
There are places on the sides of the fuselage for additional brackets and containers with weapons, fuel, reconnaissance and electronic warfare equipment.
Forkiliki from the sides at the opening of the cargo hatch indicate that the discharge of cargo and landing in flight are clearly provided.
The tail boom looks stiffer and better protected at the junction with the fuselage than on the Mi-8/17 - this is also encouraging.
The rectangular shape of the porthole openings will allow, if necessary, to organize onboard firing points with a good firing sector and easier to evacuate people in an "emergency situation".
In my opinion, this is a fairly thought-out machine (without even seeing the design of the main and tail rotors, looking only at the location and external design of the engine air intakes.
Let's hope that after a comprehensive "testing" - "fine-tuning" and the establishment of serial production, the Russian army will receive a suitable "workhorse" - the continuation of the glorious traditions of the Worker - "of the Eight", and Russia as a whole - an additional export "potential"!
