"Not in our favor": Americans compared the Mi-28NM with the "Apache"

Russia is equipping its latest Mi-28NM Night Hunter attack helicopter with guided air-to-air missiles designed to destroy fighters, including the fifth generation. Writes about this NI.

The Russian Defense Ministry is equipping its attack helicopter with air-to-air missiles capable of hitting even fifth-generation fighters. Thus, the Russians are determined to destroy the American AH-64 Apache attack helicopters designed to fight the Russians. tanks.

The newest Russian attack helicopter Mi-28NM will turn into a fighter capable of coping with enemy aircraft, drones and cruise missiles. The R-74M missile was originally developed taking into account the possibility of hitting fifth-generation fighters F-35 and F-22

- the edition writes with reference to the publications of the Russian press.

According to the American edition, the Russian Mi-28NM will hide behind the terrain and hunt the American Apaches. In turn, the AH-64 Apache does not have air-to-air missiles and is inferior to the Russian helicopter in this component.

At the same time, the publication emphasizes that the idea of ​​installing guided missiles to engage targets in the air is far from new; earlier OH-58D Kiowa reconnaissance helicopters were armed with Stinger missiles. The option of arming them with AH-64 Apache attack helicopters was considered, but later this was abandoned.

(...) attack helicopters are not designed for air combat, they should dominate the battlefield, but if necessary, Apaches can be armed with air-to-air missiles. But while the score is not in our favor

- summarizes the publication.

NATO has 5 fighters, so they don't need such missiles for a helicopter.

Strange, but where did the AIM-92 Stinger go from his arsenal?

Stinger AIM-92 on AH-64:

It's just that if you compare the performance characteristics of the R-74 and the Stinger, it will become obvious that the Indian really does not have the V-V missiles.

it is not a matter of quantity, but of doctrine. Until complete air superiority is achieved, the action of the turntables is minimal.

Of those 5000, four rot in the landfill. We have three dozen in Syria hitting more than three hundred NATO clowns in a week in Syria.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

They are not afraid, but flattered, which means they knock money out of the budget for even more weapons for their army.

The United States and NATO have a sea of ​​fighters and AWACS aircraft, if necessary, they will remove our helicopters from the sky from a distance of 100 km, and then finish off the ground forces with their turntables.

They really do not really need rockets for helicopters and do not need them, they will always use them after clearing the sky, as a cheap option for destroying the enemy.

They actually have a lot of Ratmir, AWACS and fighters, and of course they can shoot down our turntables, but not in such an apocalyptic picture as you described "in a hundred kilometers and in packs if desired." You just never had anything to do with aerial interception if you think that's what it looks like. To put it mildly, you will get tired of looking for a pinwheel against the background of the "humpback" (the effect of the reflecting surface of the earth), to put it mildly, let alone a hundred kilometers of detecting a rotary winged dragonfly - this is Hollywood.
That is why on the anti-tank battle field with the participation of attack helicopters, V-V missiles on turntables are not a bad idea. H
Well, and the fact that NATO has combat aircraft like organic waste in a collective farm bath - who can argue? Even if we fantasize that each of our missiles will work on the target with a probability of one (which is impossible in principle! But we fantasize), then they will still have technology "for a couple of times the same amount." Therefore, the vigorous loaf is our everything, and the rest, so as not to lag behind in small-scale local conflicts and not to do with the conquest of the rebellious Zusuls.

[hydrox]

You are right: your opponent is unimportant: you need a tool to clean the sky, and they only have one rocket for cleaning at a distance of 200 km, while ours have it under 300 km.
In addition, today the most recent gossip says that only 36% of combat-ready guns have engine-capable guns - there has never been such a shame in either the Soviet or Russian army. At the same time, dryers 30, 35 and 57 in terms of maneuverability are significantly steeper than f-22 and even more so f-35, so there is still a question of who will clean the sky from whom, especially since 57 is already sharpened for network centrics, and at least one A- There is 50 (100) on a "difficult" piece of sky to lead a couple of 57 with a large gang of Hunters.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Is it difficult for an AWACS aircraft to find a low-flying helicopter from a high altitude?

I have no direct relation to interception, I just analyze the data that I have. For example, the destruction of Serbian MiGs with AIM-120 missiles from a long distance by targeting AWACS aircraft. There, the Americans saw a Serbian plane from the moment it took off from the airfield, then transmitted data to the fighter, and he already fired a rocket using this data, which, from a certain distance, turned on the GOS, found the target and attacked it. The Serbs had no chances, not a single one.

Why will it be different with helicopters?

[ccsr]

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

The Serbs had no chances, not a single one.

Why will it be different with helicopters?

There was no chance because the Serbs did not have modern electronic warfare equipment and thermal traps on these aircraft. Modern helicopters can already have all this on board, so not all missiles can repeat what was twenty years ago in the relatively weak Yugoslavia.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

What does thermal traps have to do with if AIM-120 missiles are not guided by heat, but use radar to aim at a target?

An AIM-120 missile does not matter how many heat traps you shoot, it will still capture the target and hit it.

Compared to the United States and NATO, all countries are weak in the air, even Russia and China with 300 fighters each in service will not last long against them.

Of course, you can inflate your cheeks as much as you like, but the fact remains that in the air the United States is as strong as anyone.

And today they can arrange something like in Yugoslavia for any country.

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

And here are the thermal traps, if the AIM-120 missiles are not guided by heat,

Different missiles can be used in this way, including wearable ones - you cannot ignore this in the conduct of hostilities.

Yes, we don’t give a damn about that - we have been thinking in completely different categories since the time of Nixon, so let them fight with the Papuans with their aviation, and here they are even afraid to violate the air border. By the way, the Chinese landed their reconnaissance plane and forced them to apologize. And American aviation superiority helped a lot - tell me ...

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

In the USSR, too, German planes were planted before the war, supposedly accidentally flown into our territory, only then it all turned out not in our favor.

It is not worth relying strongly on nuclear weapons, there will not be many chances to break through the missile defense system after they have inflicted a massive attack on us with cruise missiles and strategic UAVs, and they do not care about Poland and other US countries, it will even be in their favor for them, they will later declare, that this is generally the first Russia attacked everyone.

if they could arrange it, they would have arranged it long ago and would not have allowed it to modernize the army, develop new types of weapons.

[shinobi]

Our and Chinese aviation does not work in isolation from ground-based air defense. NATO troops will have to completely destroy our echeloned air defense before conquering the air. I don’t know how the Chinese have it, but our air defense system cannot be penetrated without the use of nuclear weapons. This is not my opinion. This is the opinion of analysts. the Bundeswehr and also Majmur from NI. A nuclear strike will put an end to the United States and civilization in general.

Why will it be different with helicopters?

The helicopter flies slowly and low. Correspondingly, the range of direct radio visibility decreases, it is more difficult to determine the target against the background of the earth and understand that this is a helicopter, and not another object. But for AWACS this is not very important. It gives the detection range, conventionally from 500 to 350-400 km, which will not save the helicopter.
For ground-based radars, this is critical, a helicopter, especially a modern western one, can detect a target theoretically at a distance of 20-30 km, in practice it simply does not see. Therefore, helicopters are the most effective means against ground-based radars.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Therefore, helicopters are the most effective means against ground-based radars.

I strongly doubt their effectiveness.

In the extreme conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian side, even without AWACS aircraft, managed to shoot down a helicopter, and there mountains and superiority in Azerbaijan and Pashinyan's betrayal.

And to count on the fact that the enemy will not have an AWACS aircraft in my opinion is not worth it at all.

By the way, it would not hurt us ourselves, in addition to the A-50/100, an AWACS aircraft that was smaller and more economical of the type of the Yak-44 project, otherwise the Apaches would arrange them for us again on June 22, 1941.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

I strongly doubt their effectiveness.

Do not doubt. Naturally, they work in conjunction with aviation. In Iraq and Yugoslavia, the Apaches proved to be extremely effective against ground-based air defense.

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

in Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian side managed to shoot down a helicopter without AWACS aircraft,

1 Mi-17 and 1 Su-25, which is extremely small in the presence of an echeloned NKR air defense system and the inadequacy of aircraft data to work in the air defense zone.

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

by the way, in addition to the A-50/100, an AWACS aircraft would be a smaller and more economical type of the Yak-44 project

I strongly disagree in the wording "did not interfere". We vitally need more than 50 A-100, 100 simpler AWACS and RER, 150 tankers. Without them, the air defense and air force are virtually incapable of combat.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

In Iraq, the Apaches worked against long-range air defense, moreover, stationary, old, moreover, putting interference. And if it were covered with modern air defense systems, I think the alignment would be different.

Regarding the layered air defense of the Armenians, I do not agree at all, they could not remove the UAV from the sky, so 1 helicopter and 1 attack aircraft is a direct result for the Armenians. Not dry.

Regarding AWACS and RER aircraft, of course I agree.

I don’t understand why the Yak-44 project was not put into production, because it can be used not only on an aircraft carrier, but in general, anywhere else and other countries would buy it. As a means of duty for detecting UAVs and cruise missiles and everything else, you can drive for days, and the Il-76 will get tired of refueling and take off it needs an airfield, and the Yak-44 can be lifted off the road.

And nothing is heard about work in this direction.

At the time of the first war, the Iraqi air defense was at the peak of modernity, the second was tired, but not much.
Naturally, helicopters work in conjunction with all types of troops.
Regarding the current reality, Apaches are sufficient, a new ALE program has been adopted for the future. According to it, the development of new UAV complexes, a change in tactics and interaction with the latest army systems. Well, new helicopters / tiltrotors.

Given the size of the territory, the Armenians had a very powerful air defense system, this is a very large problemof course, official propaganda hides this and redirects the emphasis to something else. Because the Armenian air defense is part of the Russian, de jure and de facto. Joint drills to counter UAVs were held 2 months before the war.
The Armenians, on a small area, used various ZU / ZSU, Tunguska, MANPADS, Wasps, Strela-10, TORs, Buki, S-300, various radars, electronic warfare systems. Moreover, the Torah and electronic warfare systems of the latest modifications, the S-300 are modernized.

Many tales have been told about the past intervention of NATO forces in the former Yugoslavia, but after the end of hostilities, it turned out that the Yugoslav army did not lose its combat capability, and did not suffer large losses. Moreover, the cleanup of the history of the losses of the NATO Air Force and the number of cruise missiles shot down immediately began. This despite the fact that the Yugoslavs did not have modern air defense forces, and did not have the strength and political will, to punish the aggressor on its territory.

I think that we have approached a new phase in the development of helicopter armament, and this fits well into the concept of modern air combat against opponents of equal strength and armament.
Suffice it to recall how air defense systems developed in our country, when from stationary missile positions they switched to mobile ones in the air defense of the Ground Forces, and then to portable air defense systems of motorized rifle units, to understand that helicopters can successfully withstand enemy aircraft. Probably it will justify itself - so apparently our theorists of military science decided. The practice of conflicts of low intensity will show how correct the choice was made.

The first battle between helicopters, which became the first such event in world history, took place in November of the same year near the city of Dezful. A pair of Sea Cobras, approaching unnoticed to a pair of Mi-24s, attacked them with ATGMs. One Iraqi helicopter was immediately shot down, the second was damaged and, having flown about 10 km, crashed. The Iranians landed near the crash site of one of them and captured the surviving Iraqi major. The second duel between the Mi-24 and the AN-1J took place on April 24, 1981 in the area of ​​the Panjevin settlement, and again the Iranians were successful - they again shot down two Iraqi vehicles with ATGMs.
The Iraqi helicopter pilots were able to take revenge only on September 14, 1983, when Mi-24 attacked and shot down the Sea Cobra near the city of Basra. On February 25, 1984, several "twenty-fours" fought with the AN-1J group and destroyed three Iranian helicopters. February 13, 1986 The Mi-24 shot down the Sea Cobra again, and the Iranians also announced one victory. On February 16, the Khomeini Falcons missed another Sea Cobra, but already on February 18, Saddam Hussein's pilots, who lost one Mi-24 in an air battle, suffered a setback. On February 5, according to the statement of the Iraqi command, the Mi-24 pilots destroyed three Sea Cobras. The last battle with the AH-1J was registered on May 22, 1986. The Iraqis attacked a couple of Iranian helicopters and shot down one of them. Thus, according to the above data, in the battles between the helicopters, 10 Sea Cobras and 6 Mi-24s were shot down. Western experts say the opposite - 6 Sea Cobras and 10 Mi-24s. Iraqi "twenty-fours" fought with other types of helicopters. So, in May-June 1988 alone, they destroyed six multipurpose AV.214 and one AV.212. In total, during the war, Saddam Hussein's pilots, flying on Mi-8, Mi-24 and Gazelles, shot down 53 enemy helicopters.
One of the most impressive air victories of the Mi-24 was over the Iranian Phantom, won on October 27, 1982, north of N of the item. Ein Hosha. Most sources claim that the fighter was shot down on a head-on course by ATGMs.

The Mi-28 is not incomplete. This is a helicopter from the 70s. If it were not for the Kamov lobby, which slowed down the competition for an attack helicopter for almost 10 years, the Mi-28 would have already been removed from service. The Mi-28 was ready for production in the mid-80s, "before the humpback".
The Ka-50 is stillborn. He never became a weapon. Even at the test site in an unknown target environment, the Ka-50 was not combat-ready: the pilot simply could not cope with piloting and finding a target.

As for the cannon, try to spin yourself sharply back and forth 360 degrees, and then hit the switch button with your finger. The tales of the Kamovites about the uselessness of a rotary turret are complete nonsense. The Milevites did not make the cannon out of a hangover, but according to the STRONG requirements of the Armed Forces, and according to the experience of using the Mi-28 strike in Afghanistan. A helicopter battle is not a merry-go-round in a park, with sharp turns to and fro, with a radius of several meters and a frantic angular velocity, the pilots do not get fun. In addition, let me remind you that by turning the body, the Ka-52 changes the angle of view, that is, it risks turning backwards towards the enemy.

Sure. For the sake of the Kamovites, the competition was stretched in time, the intermediate stages were shifted, the requirements were revised, then the terms were revised again. Yes, the helicopter implements the concept of the 70s, when no one thought about the radar on the helicopter. Initially, the PNA was set to be electron-optical. And it was made just like that. And it should have been accepted that way. And in the 90s it would have already become obsolete, and now it has been massively withdrawn from the troops. It is the Kamov lobby that is to blame for the fact that instead of a not revolutionary, but a good attack helicopter, money and time were spent on a whistle-making deal, which turned out to be unsuitable for combat and from which the same Mi-28 only with a coaxial scheme turned out anyway. And 20 years later.

For God's sake. Only the Kamov car is still weaving at this "coffin" in the tail. And neither the radar nor the maneuverability save it. Until the Milians on the 28th do something new, the Kamovites sit with their cinematographers in an embrace. They have a helicopter, they have a radar station, they have a cannon, but there was no combat vehicle, and they never did. And they don't know what to do next. Right now, the residents of Ryazan have made for the Mi-28, though not the very best, but an overhead radar, immediately there was news about new long-range helicopter missiles, and even with a seeker. And what about the Kamovites from the phazotronovskoy radar station? They have a radar for so many le! Why are they all flying with the Kolomna assaults, which does not use the radar? We never thought that a combat helicopter is not an aerobatic hopper, but a rather complex technical complex that is not enough to assemble, it needs to be developed. And everything in it should correspond to each other. If the detection system sees 10 km away, and the sight at 5 km, then either one is superfluous or the other is insufficient.

They would have had an attack helicopter with radar and ATGMs with GOS, so adored by local warriors. For example, Phazotron simply would not have had the audacity to refuse to develop a supra-sleeve radar. As it was in real life.
He will be there now. Only much later.
But, in fairness: for KB Kamov, this competition was almost the only chance to stay afloat. They were not out of spite, they had no choice.

MI 28 was originally an unfinished machine. It is necessary to fix the gearbox problem only by the 2010s. How many cars are attacked? To reach the second control panel after the loss of several pilot-operators. Regarding the rotary gun, have you tried to shoot from 2a42? Better then behaves in a rather peculiar way, due to the bending of the trunk, dispersion in a burst from the tram stop. Only we do not have reinforcing casings on the modules and towers. The Milevskys really back in Avgan, at the request of the Armed Forces, replaced the machine-gun turret on the MI 24 with a rigidly fixed cannon. "tool".

The problem with the gearbox was identified in the 90s, and solved by 2000. The project was renewed only after that.
The gun was chosen from what was according to the TTZ for the power of ammunition and armor penetration.

I don't like how his 2A42 is fixed and you have to turn the whole car in order to take aim in comparison with the mi 28.

Guidance drives allow you to aim the gun at a target on the side of the Mi-28 without turning the helicopter and there is probably an automatic target tracking, but shooting like this when the helicopter is flying away from a single target will only waste cartridges due to dispersion. So you can shoot only from a hovering helicopter or across the area.

In Iraq, the United States conducted an unsuccessful raid on the rear of the Iraqis, about 30 helicopters came under anti-aircraft fire from a large Iraqi unit, while many helicopters, although damaged, were able to return to their bases except for one that made an emergency landing. This helicopter was then bombed by US aircraft, and the pilots were returned.
And the grandfather with the rifle is just an element of propaganda.

It would be better if the Iraqis quickly evacuated the Apache, leaving some mock-up at the site of its landing for destruction by the Americans and lulling their vigilance and transferred it to the same Iran or Russia for copying technologies and studying - that would be a blow to the United States

And this was with the chairman of the state farm, and the rest lived even worse.

In 1976, my mother and my grandmother went to Moscow from Tambov to buy polto to school, because nothing was sold in the Tambov region, everything that came was grabbed by thieves, familiar officials from the trade !!!

In order for a collective farmer to buy a miserable carpet, he had to hand over several dozen ducks first, hammer and pluck, and then pay for the carpet !!!

From the Ryazan region, in order to buy sweets for children for the new year, they went from organizations to Moscow theaters, but in fact to shops, so that the children had at least some kind of holiday !!!

The Apache platform is constantly being modernized, all systems are being improved from avionics to weapons and engines.

The difference in the Apaches of the current and those that were produced earlier is about the same as that of the Su-35 and Su-27, although outwardly these platforms are very similar, but very different in capabilities.

So, what can I say, that the Apache is an old helicopter is not worth it.

Our turntable also has its own problems. Firstly, it is stupidly very heavy, and carries a similar weaponry with the Apache. Secondly, there are problems with the modernity of the filling and upgrades, as well as the quality of the components - for example, at night, American pilots are less tired using infrared equipment. Huge questions about the adequacy of anti-tank missiles and guns.

But we have fired and killed rockets. Practice shows that it is more useful. If not in a movie, but in battle. Helicopter crews are exposed to hazards with any type of missile. For example, in a battle MANPADS is a helicopter, the first one wins with a probability of over 70%.
The helicopter's vulnerability is not that it has such missiles or not. And the fact that the helicopter is BLIND. He has a narrow sector of "sight".
And our rockets are already good. Powerful, with huge armor penetration, and supersonic. From the moment of launch until the target is hit, no more than 20 seconds pass. At the same time, all this time the helicopter can maneuver, the automatic target holding is working. There is also a targeting machine. But operators prefer manual mode.

There is no question of any "star wars". Mi-28 initially armed with V-V missiles. A pack of MANPADS with automatic guidance was mounted on it even in the basic version.

[Andrey.AN]

It is not correct to compare the Apache with the Mi-28, different weight categories. In theory, if a helicopter can afford explosives comparable to missiles for fighters, comparable OLSs, with a comparable speed of turning to a target, a turntable, less speedy, but more secretive, makes fuller use of the terrain, which is also hopeless for AWACS, such as AWACS does not graze from space ...

[Baron pardus]

Attaching stingers or Sidewinder to the Apache is a matter of minutes. I am more interested in which of the helicopters has the best radar. Which has better maneuverability. Which has the best booking. Who will better withstand a Sidewinder rocket that exploded 5 meters away? We know that AGM114 of the latest modification fly at 8-8.5 km and work on the principle of "Shoot and forget" (Fire and Forget). And what ATGMs are suspended on the Mi-28NM? What the American "Experts" say, must be divided by eight and the cube root must be taken. If you look at the old editions of "Soviet Military Power", then according to these editions, we generally had EVERYTHING Wunder Waffe. From Migov23h to T-62. I read such a book. There they wrote about T62 - they took pride. And the armor "Better than any other modern tank" and "the most powerful weapon with excellent direct fire range and armor penetration." And "the most reliable diesel". And all 150 pleasures. Why do "experts" write this? And we look who pays them - the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defense. And why? And because when the "Experts" write to the Congress "Everything is lost, we have a khan", they usually add "If you don't give the Pentagon more dough for armament". So EVERYTHING that the experts write has one goal - to get more money from Congress for military spending. And even if it is revealed that the MiG-25 was not equal to the F-15mu, then you can always say "Intelligence is an inaccurate matter, we were deceived. Intelligence was mistaken." Until they figure out who did what, the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex not only received the money, but SPENT it. Pay less attention to the scribbling of any scribblers working, of course, to order. Just yourself, compare the performance characteristics yourself. And we have Marins on the Cobra and the Sidewinder and Stingers hung up. So hanging them on the Apache is a matter of hours.

Thanks for the timely article. It is obvious to everyone that winning in modern warfare is the conquest of air superiority. For the last twenty years, our generals have been confident that the first task of helicopters is to destroy armored vehicles. The first task is to destroy enemy helicopters, aircraft, cruise missiles and drones. For information, we have about a thousand helicopters, the Americans and NATO 15. Two or three months and we have no helicopters. The plane is made one in two months, one helicopter a month.

"Flying" airborne combat vehicle - the newest Mi-8AMTSh-VN helicopter - The deep modernization of the helicopter was carried out taking into account the experience of its combat use in Syria during the counter-terrorist operation of the Russian Armed Forces. The specialists have increased the combat effectiveness of the Mi-8ATMSh-VN by optimally combining the principle of a "glass cockpit", reliable analog equipment and a digital autopilot.

In addition, the Russian defense industry designers have improved the survivability and thrust-to-weight ratio of the vehicle - most of the hull is protected by lightweight Kevlar plates, and also expanded the possibilities for its use in high altitude and hot climates.

The Sapsan is equipped with the President-S defense complex, which automatically recognizes the launch of a rocket directed towards the helicopter, interferes with any type of guidance head. The vehicle is also equipped with three 12,7-mm Korda machine guns (two course and one - to support the landing) and one 7,62-mm KVP machine gun in the tail section. In addition, it is equipped with "product 305" and a promising guided missile "Hermes-A" with a firing range of up to 40 km. This is twice as much as that of any other helicopter anti-tank guided missiles that are now equipped with the army aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces. It is also planned to equip the upgraded Ka-52M and Mi-28NM with such means of destruction. The Mi-8AMTSh-VN will be able to throw 37 paratroopers into the combat area or evacuate 12 wounded on stretchers. Some sources provide information that the Mi-8AMTSh-VN helicopter is an improved version of the Mi-8/17 helicopter, created taking into account the Syrian experience.
