Rostvertol plant launches mass production of modernized Mi-28H helicopters

The Rostvertol plant, part of the Russian Helicopters holding, has begun preparations for the launch of mass production of an upgraded version of the famous Mi-28H “Night Hunter” helicopters, RIA reports.News" with reference to the representative of the enterprise.

“Currently, the serial production of a dual-control Mi-28HNE helicopter-based combat helicopter, created on the basis of the Mi-28H Night Hunter, as well as the Mi-26Т2 helicopter - Mi-26T is under preparation,” said the representative, noting that several foreign customers are already interested in these models.

According to him, mass production will start after the completion of state tests.

The new Mi-28HE dual-control training and combat helicopter retains all the functionality of the shock machine, but can be used to train the Mi-28H pilots. The use of a double hydromechanical control system allows the helicopter to be controlled both from the pilot’s cabin and from the pilot’s cabin, which serves as an instructor.

The Mi-26T is the only helicopter that can deliver cargo inside the cabin or on an external sling, the total weight of which does not exceed 20 tons. It can be used as a fire, ambulance, landing and refueling helicopter. For the modernized version of the Mi-26Т2, it is planned to install modern avionics and reduce the number of crew members. In addition, thanks to the use of new systems, the machine can be operated at night.

The helicopter control system simply must be duplicated. On the Alligator, they did it right away, now the Night Hunter has taken the baton. Fine!

[Gxash]

Into his troops at once! And do not sell over the hill! Nooooo plagiarize our technology!

[Wiruz]

Into his troops at once!

I don’t even argue

And do not sell over the hill! Nooooo plagiarize our technology!

Here you are wrong. It depends on whom to sell.

[ispaniard]

Air Force "Novorossiya" and not sell but for running ... For his UR Attack-B and NARs, there are many targets in the army of the "Hunted Banderlog" ...

[Basarev]

Yes, and the Ka-29 should also be modernized as it should. It was such a helicopter!

[Gxash]

It is clear that the sale of NATO henchmen should be ordered.

Yes, at least to someone! First, say to introduce the military to Ukraine and fuck Ukraine! Then drive the turntables for export, where is the logic?

[lapo32]

Ferret, why do we need troops in Ukraine, mishandled Cossack?

[Juborg]

Alexander Romanov, troops to the former Ukraine are not difficult to enter, it will not be difficult to strike the same, what next !? Dill will not fight for us, we will find ourselves in the role of invaders (no longer in words but in deeds). Now, in essence, those who fight in the East, mainly Russians and visitors, and dill went into refugees, they do not want to fight. As one (refugee) from Luganchka told me yesterday, this is a war between Moscow and America and I don’t want to die for it, but the Russians are obliged and went to the list of what we owe him and what do you think we should do there if we are not invaders yet, but again dill something should.

Just for the sake of objectivity. The famous car is the Mi-24. Mi-28 not yet. But it is a matter of time.

Iraq in the fight against ISIL, such an advertisement will be made to "Hunter", then who will buy it ...

I wrote this not long ago, in an article about deliveries to Iraq, the flow of minuses.
Although the number of minuses in this case spoke of the number of not very smart people. However, in Russia there have always been many.

[The Art of War]

I agree to supply is not necessary! While we are not fully equipped with our Air Force! Although the fact that we supply there much lower characteristics! Well, if I let the shops supply our Air Force and over the hill, not to the detriment of its Air Force in terms and quantity, then there is nothing wrong with that!

[ispaniard]

Give an overhead radar "Crossbow" for each Mi28-NE! It's time already, it's time!

All the orcs had fought fear at the sight of this helicopter, but now they will be

[Slon1978]

The Mi-28N is undeniably a good machine, but after the militias quite effectively landed about 15 ukrov helicopters with MANPADS, and not even the most modern ones, I began to doubt the feasibility of having such equipment as a combat helicopter .... The cost of a modern combat helicopter a helicopter is comparable to the cost of a fighter, which in comparison with the cost of MANPADS to put it mildly makes you think. Modern generations of MANPADS are already 3-band, they cannot be brought down by thermal traps, hence the question of how durable the Mi-28 is from MANPADS and what is provided for this?

[tomket]

Well, if you fly directly over the MANPADS operator, then the probability of an "early" landing is more than likely, whether it is an ultra-reliable "crocodile" or a "hunter", guided weapons must be actively introduced into the troops, which we do not see yet.

[armageddon]

Hmm ... GOOD workhorse !!! Clear sky ... And the WAY !!!

[Gluxar_]

Most importantly, as soon as this helicopter goes into production, it can again become a contender for the Indian tender. He lost the Apache at that time precisely for this reason.
And in terms of mass production, there is not much difference to produce 400 or 2000 pieces. In the second case, the cost of the helicopter will simply decrease and it will be possible to purchase a larger quantity in your own troops. Keep it up Rostov.

[Giant thought]

A very good solution. It is necessary to put everything new and advanced into production as quickly as possible in order to be the flagship in helicopter engineering and provide the army with new military equipment.

[RONIN-HS]

The good news is that OUR army needs such vehicles. And "interested" foreign customers - let them go through the forest ...

[Lyubimov]

Brutal technique and brutally beautiful! Oh, how I would like to take part in the design of such a technique

[Mama_Cholli]

Good machine ... And at the same time you can train up the frames.

[Sochi]

the famous Mi-28N “Night Hunter” combat helicopters, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the representative of the enterprise ... What is he famous for? Just the fact that for a long time PR? He hadn’t fought anywhere else! Talking about his celebrity is too early ... The car seems to be good, but the battle is untested. The Kamovskys were in the Chechen one, it’s true that there and how it was brought to mind unclear because of secrecy ...

[Dmitry 2246]

Mi-26 is fascinating.
What was modernized in it?

[The Art of War]

Mi-26 is a transport helicopter!

With all due respect to this unit, I like the Ka-52 as a drummer

[2224460]

Yokharny-babay, well, things have gone, the military-industrial complex is reviving, then the new intercontinental ballistic missile is being adopted, now the modernized MI-28N is being put into production, there would be NO happiness, but misfortune helped. "More sanctions comrade Matrasa more.

DEFENSE OF GLORY !!!Glory to Russia - you are the pride of the people
And we must multiply it.
We are all yours, like a river full of water,
By deed and heart of Russia are faithful.

Terrible machine.

[Figvam]

firstly, the news of at least two days ago on ria ru was
and secondly, when you’re looking at MI and spacecraft very close. Mi looks more fundamental
and Ka is more like homemade.

There would be a few pieces to help the "separatists". Well, like, they stole it along with the pilots)

I can offer him an application.
Today, two shells from Ukraine damaged the border crossing on the territory of the Russian Federation.
I wonder how long it will take a combat copter to burn an enemy firing point?

[The Art of War]

There was information that 2 Mi-28Н and 1 Mi-35 patrol the border!

Brazenly lying bug, if you do not believe the media and Strelkov’s messages, then go and see who is at war and what is the ratio of local to visitors.

Running in real combat conditions is a very valuable event. Identified and promptly eliminated deficiencies will only increase the quality and characteristics of the machine.

[Chicot 1]

Is the installation of duplicated control the whole modernization? .. It was generally necessary to do this from the very beginning, when developing a helicopter ...
And why does this, if I may say so, "modernization" bear the letter "E" in the codification, which always means the export version? .. And where is the updated avionics? .. Where the promised devils know when the overhead radar station? .. But no. And if not, then there is no point in trying to talk about a new modification. In Soviet times, such changes were made routinely and were not trumpeted anywhere ...
And by the way, the Mi-28 with duplicated control already has a place to be - this is its combat training option ... So the value of this information is zero point x ... the tail of tenths ...

[ilya_oz]

Iraq now needs attack helicopters. Let them expand production.

[Kulneff2009]

Well, thank God! At least one good news!

[vic.danilow2014]

What is the use of arming an army if it cannot protect its southeast. Russian nuclear shield is enough.
