Mi-24 attack helicopters selected as carriers of Barrier-V ATGM system in Ukraine

At the range of the State Research Institute for Testing and Certification of Arms and Military Equipment (GNII IS AME) in Ukraine, tests of the Barrier-V high-precision anti-tank missile system are being carried out. Although at this test site in the Chernihiv region, tests have recently been carried out on Mi-8 helicopters, new Ukrainian missiles will be put into service with the Mi-24. It was these attack helicopters that were chosen in Ukraine as carriers of the new anti-tank systems.

Oleg Korostelev, general designer and head of the Kiev design bureau "Luch", told reporters about this.

Today, state tests of this system are underway. And we hope to complete them successfully this year.

- he said.

The general director of the Luch Design Bureau noted that the new complexes will be installed on the Mi-24, since these helicopters are better suited for rocket firing. They have less vibration, provide a more stable position of the machine during firing.

For the first time, it became known about launches of guided missiles of the Barrier-V complex from the Mi-8 back in 2017. Then flight tests were carried out with missile launches at targets imitating a bunker and an enemy tank.

ATGM "Barrier-V" is an air version of the ground-based missile system "Barrier", installed on armored vehicles. Unlike its predecessor, whose range is limited to 5 kilometers, "Barrier-V" is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 7,5 km.

Not the Barrier, but the Wattle ... wherever the Svidomites are looking.

.Mi-24 attack helicopters selected as carriers of the Barrier-V ATGM system in Ukraine

Were there any other options? Mi-2 from Motor Sich Boguslaev. And then Motor Sich flew by.

After all the reductions, mergers and transformations, by the 2014 crisis, the Ukrainian army aviation had three helicopter formations:
7th Army Aviation Regiment (Novy Kalinov, Lviv Oblast). The regiment has one squadron of Mi-24 and Mi-8. Attached to the 13th Army Corps.
16th Army Aviation Brigade (former 3rd Army Aviation Regiment) (Brody, Lviv Oblast). The brigade consists of one Mi-24 squadron and two Mi-8 squadrons. Attached to the 8th Army Corps.
11th Army Aviation Brigade (Chernobaevka, Kherson). The brigade consists of one Mi-24 squadron and two Mi-8 squadrons. Attached to the 6th Army Corps.
Thus, in three divisions there is a squadron of Mi-24 and, most likely, there are about 45 helicopters of this type (s). Minus - losses in Donbass!
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were more than 250 Mi-24s in Ukraine.
Currently, ONE modernized MI-24PU-1 "yellow 04" is in service. All other helicopters in service are ordinary "Soviet" Mi-24P and Mi-24VP.
This is what the "revolutions and mandanas" lead to.

But why? Judging by the video, the Mi-2MSB (combat motor sich) is being tested in the same way.
Another thing is that the "Barrier" itself is already a rather old ATGM and although its R-2 rocket has high armor penetration, up to 800 mm for the DZ, but it is already old

[Avior]

not so old-fashioned. Not Javelin, of course, but the laser trail is implemented.

She is from the 90s ... ATGM "Stugna"

[Avior]

Stugna isn't it the 2000s?
They write that 2010 was created.
The fact that there is a laser trail suggests that it is not very old, in my opinion

Judging by the frequent mentions of Korostelev and KB "Luch", one gets the impression that only they work in the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, or they are lucky with state funding.
I would like to wish one thing to Oleg Korostelev and the design bureau headed by him, so that the products they have designed will never get a "start" in life.

[Orange bigg]

Korostelev for all occasions. True, he and his Neptune nevertheless nailed everyone.

Its ATGM and KB Luch are buying up pretty well. Yes, they do.
Let's say that "gold mine" of this design bureau.

You dyves kume, the damned Moscow helicopter flies with our independent weapons! It's crazy)

As always. They will take it from some sucker for repairs and suddenly lose it. Here you will have helicopters and money for a blessing))))))

[Mouse]

Another zip ...

[zadorin1974]

Come on, everyone is already used to it, as long as they don't start digging a new sea.))))

If only they didn't start digging a new sea.))))

Come on ... let them dig, at least get busy ...

As usual, they will be begging for the countries of the former CMEA or the socialist camp, unless of course there is something left there.

Well, where ... Suppose someone (we will not specify) bought a steering wheel for a Mercedes. But he doesn't have a Merc. So he will walk with a steering wheel ...

Svidomo was lucky in his time with the Soviet legacy. From Bandera, they only inherited shizu. Shamanize the old Soviet legacy. Where else can we get helicopters when "the whole world is with us"?

[kit88]

The whole world said that without the Crimea, they did not lose heart.
So Amerigasnami didn't work.

The Soviet legacy with which they are so zealously fighting still does not want to end. Hike Korostelev and Boguslaev are theirs. Truth and here zrada crept up. The names Korostelev and Boguslaev are painfully Russian. How can we build a cathedral Ukraine then?

... Kiev, December 26. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered the Ukrainian Armed Forces to lift at least 16 Mi-24 combat helicopters into the sky next year.


We are talking about the army aviation of the Land Forces of Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine clarifies.

“The flight tests of blades for Mi-24 helicopters of Ukrainian production, successfully carried out at Motor Sich, give confidence that this task must be completed,” said Colonel General Ruslan Khomchak, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

It is known that he outlined plans according to which the notorious new capabilities for the army aviation could "allow the restoration of 16 or more combat helicopters by the end of the year."

How they still haven't decommunized their old ones ......)

[Mountain shooter]

How many of these helicopters are left? What is this all about?
Create weapons for a couple of dozen helicopters?

[stas Sv]

Well, probably these "crocodiles"

[Thrifty]

Mountain shooter - so they will use these turntables with barriers, as well as beytractors, against Donbass, and in general, any new weapon or military equipment they create for this purpose - waging war in Donbass!

[Emil mamedoff]

Yes, from such a distance (7500m) any OSA will overwhelm this helicopter before its ATGM reaches the target, especially while the helicopter hovers to highlight the target.
Although it is unlikely that this ATGM will be launched from the maximum maximum distance, so if it flies even closer, then Verba and Needle will also get it.
I think if the helicopter's ATGMs are still old, of the "fired and remembered" principle, then all the same they have to hit at a distance of 10-10 + km. Or sorry for the pilots ..

Nope. Bad pilots are not a pity.

... The anti-tank missile system "Barrier-V" for the modernization of Mi-24 helicopters consists of an anti-tank guided missile ATGM in a transport and launch container TPK and a laser control channel LKU-V in an optical sighting station OPS, designed to engage stationary and moving modern armored targets, having combined, spaced or monolithic armor, including those with reactive armor, as well as small targets such as bunkers, a tank in a trench, lightly armored objects and helicopters.

[Nikolaevich I]

Why "Barrier-V"? After all, in Ukraine "once" was developed a helicopter anti-tank missile "Alta" - ,, analogue in places ,, "Brimstone"! By the way, the firing range is also 7,5 km, like that of "Barrier-V"!

[Avior]

probably for unification
the same ATGM in a portable form, for armored vehicles and a helicopter
and Alta is very expensive, there are not many of them.

[Orange bigg]

It was the Russians who spied on and appropriated independent crocodiles, but now they are finally independent. Sarcasm.

[Vlad5307]

Something weak is going on with their de-communism - they are still fighting in the Donbass with communist products, it turns out that stale squares are not enough for success both in the economy and in the civil war.

[Viktor Sergeev]

The fall of Mi24 will begin soon.

[Nikon O'Conor]

Here !!! Yesterday I watched a film on "Zvezda", how "stingers" appeared in Afghanistan .. There the commander said that crocodiles have no protection from them.
In Ukraine, what kind of modernization of helicopters, during the Afghan war?

[Ros 56]

Have you set up production of the Mi-24? Or they hang on the old ones, how many are left there?

Even beggar Bulgarians and Romanians will hardly give the turntables away for nothing, and there is nothing to pay the fat-eaters even for old stuff

[Victor Tsenin]

We can assume where they will fly, or rather "go", together with Barrier-B (7,5 km)

[iouris]

Did not like. Where did the rocket go?

[VLADIMIR VLADIVOSTOK]

No, Ukrainians need to destroy or return everything that is permanent under the USSR! And not only technology! Add all the Khrushchevs and Brezhnevka! After all, they were built by quilted jackets! Let them also answer for the annexation of the Russian land! Kiev-Mother of Russian cities! Let the Ukrainians wander like gypsies!
