New Mi-26 and Mi-28Н - now in camouflage

On 30 and 31 March 2014, spotters photographed new-built helicopters of a new construction for the Russian Air Force - transport Mi-26 (board number "80 red") and combat Mi-28N (at the factory airdrome of Rostvertol OJSC in Rostov-on-Don, March 70 and 71, XNUMX) white tail numbers "XNUMX" and "XNUMX"). A characteristic feature of all three helicopters is spotted "green" camouflage applied to them. Thus, in the coloring of new army helicopters aviation The Russian Air Force has finally departed from a monochromatic dark gray paint scheme.

The Mi-26 helicopter with the 80 red tail number (34001212639 serial number, 32-09 serial number) was built by Rostvertol under the 2010 contract of the year with the Russian Ministry of Defense for the supply of 18 of such vehicles and is the first helicopter built by the company under this contract in 2014 year, and 15-m helicopter under this contract as a whole.

Earlier, Rostvertol built four military Mi-26 helicopters in 2011 under the aforementioned contract, seven in 2012 (of the last, only six were handed over in 2012, and the helicopter with serial number 34001212635 / 32-05 serial number was already delivered 2013 year) and three - in 2013 year. It is reported that 1 on April 2014 of the Rostvertol began testing the next X-NUMX th Mi-16 helicopter under this contract (26 serial number, 34001212640-32 serial number, the helicopter is not yet colored and does not have a tail number).

The new Mi-28H are, apparently, the first helicopters of this type, built on Rostvertol in the 2014 year, and, presumably, the 79 and 80-th machine of the Mi-28H type (taking into account the experimental and pre-series). It is possible that both of these helicopters will be the first Mi-28H to be delivered to the 549-th Army Aviation Base (Pribylovo airfield) of the Western Military District.

Re-equipment goes !!!

[Ivan Petrovich]

and we have no other way.

[cosmos111]

New Mi-26 and Mi-28Н - now in camouflage

the main thing is that for more units, the army was supplied (((
and there were helicopters, all-weather and all-day !!!
K-52

[jjj]

I recall the words from a song of school years:
"Carry, doves, carry
Our greetings to the peoples of the world! "

[Army1]

The main thing is that everything will be fine in the country, without any bulk, and the whole world will speak Russian

[_Lexa_]

... and power will come with us!

[Ased]

Dear! Isn’t it more important for helicopters to have camouflage under heavenly colors? In the end, on the ground, you can cover with a net ...

[koosss]

so from below it is heavenly (when it flies, against the background of the sky), and above it is camouflage) what is the point of making it all "heavenly" in color)

[Putnik960]

Pribylovo airfield, because there were no combat helicopters before. And so the old helicopter regiment.

[Sergei75]

And what, before, "Cows" for the army were somehow painted differently? Where are the bows?
In brought, it remains only a new batch of boots, arrived in the unit, rejoice.

[inkass_98]

Quote: Sergei75

And what, before, "Cows" for the army were somehow painted differently?

Colorized. Pserdyukov ordered that it was beautiful, like NATO, dark gray so that everything was.

[wizarden]

And I liked the gray one more, some kind of association with novelty, rearmament arose. Well, if we go back to camouflage, then it was necessary to do "digital".

[RUSS]

We switched back to the "native" camouflage, although I liked the dark gray color more, it is perhaps more aggressive and modern.

[Fitter65]

Still, the BBC inscription in Russia would be removed ...

[RBLip]

Yes, what's the difference to us even such

[RBLip]

even such

[core]

it is night black, the best camouflage for night hunting.

[johnsnz]

and for the parades, paint one in tricolor!

[DAYMAN]

The main thing - do not let down with quality!

[tommytros]

The main thing is that there is something to camouflage, but how? - the second question !!!

[RUSS]

Shoigu "muddies" with painting, then he wants to paint the tanks in a uniform color to save paint, but I don’t mind the paint turntables, again the question of the stars on the fuselages has not been resolved, they wanted less and dotted like on the T-50, but again they paint huge half of the helicopter and why then camouflage, if red stars of this size unmask equipment?

[wizarden]

I agree about the star. Well done in the Navy.

[jjj]

Here, too, is not so simple. It was a ball traditional, then almost black, then light. Although, according to experience, a dark ball does not fade longer in the sun, less often to paint ...

[Leshka]

beautiful looker

[Vtel]

The owner, maybe this color?
Why come in without knocking?
Go out into the corridor and wait
until they call you.
Then pick the color yourself
and himself beautiful.
I'm not here.

[Starover_Z]

and here the body is plain Did not pick up color

[sv68]

and why the cow is not painted

[Ased]

Quote: sv68

and why the cow is not painted

This is not a cow, but a camouflaged BMP.

This is not a cow, but a camouflaged BMP.

This is a trojan cow with a landing inside

[Smiles to you]

And the engines on the MI-28, there will be no problems? Who is in the know? And the fact that every day is different info ... ATP ...

[wizarden]

Of course, there will be Ukrainian engines for the time being ... But work in this direction is going on:

The entire fleet of Mi-28N Night Hunter helicopters of the Russian Air Force will be equipped with VK2500 engines of only Russian production. This ITAR-TASS during the exhibition "DefExpo-2014" said the commercial director of JSC "Klimov" Dmitry Vinogradov

[desant_doktor]

Yeah, the plant was built near St. Petersburg. Now Motor Sich is going through the forest.

[sinukvl]

Beauties !!! And it pleases that we rearm the army in practice, and not as in words.

[Voenruk]

Rostvertol spit all!)

[kimyth1]

GLORY TO RUSSIA!!!!!!!

[Saburo]

Again, something with camouflage is being wise ... I never really liked the gray one, but this spotted one is just some kind of "back to the USSR". And it is still unclear whether the star has a blue border or not.

[wizarden]

There is a blue border.

[mountain]

It’s time to develop a coating chameleon, so that on the ground and in the air, everything would look the same.

[KOSMOS]

Turntables arrive in the troops, it pleases! Our Korenovsky regiment was well packed with the brand new KA-52, MI-28N, MI-35. Well, the painting scheme will change more than once, I think not the main thing!

[Giant thought]

What is the difference what camouflage, it would be what to apply this camouflage. The more recent camouflage wearers, the more sweet and calm at heart.

[LIS 25]

the main thing is that the technique is good and beautiful, and what color is on it no difference. rearm, trembling adversary.

[Kulneff2009]

Not in camouflage, it's in quantity! Give more !!!!!!!

[goose2]

There is a difference in camouflage. Especially for the infantry, the gray, "Serdyukovsky" is very similar to the NATO one, and is more effective at medium altitudes, and on small ones who crawl on their belly above the ground, of course, you need to camouflage.

We are, as always, on guard of Peace and Tranquility!

[Platov]

A lot of such news, so that the soul rejoiced for Russia. Camouflage customized for the task.

[KAPITANUS]

RESPECTED ONLY STRONG, STRONG ALWAYS RIGHT! You need to be STRONG!

[salamander2826]

28th, the first time I saw back in the 91st. And we still can’t rearm the regiments, the third dozen went as he took off. It is time to take the next oath into service, and not repaint.

[Kasym]

But also in the USA there is nothing new. Only modernization. So it is not critical. The main thing is that they started to produce in batches, and not piece goods. And it’s a pity that the Ka-50 is a decent car.

[cokol-xnumx]

mi 28n night hunter is a tank killer, more of them are urgently needed in the army, especially when NATO is threatening ...
