Foreign media: Brazilian Air Force not satisfied with Russian Mi-35 helicopters
102
Brazilian online edition http://www.forte.jor.br reports that after the Brazilian attack helicopters Mi-35 (modernization of the Mi-24) were commissioned by the Brazilian army, Brazilian pilots began to express discontent with this kind of equipment. It is reported that the allegedly Brazilian army needs “specialized attack helicopters”, and the capabilities of the Mi-35 do not satisfy them.
At the same time, the Brazilian resource, describing the “discontent” of the Brazilian military, for some reason refers not to the Brazilian Ministry of Defense or its subordinate structures, but to the Israeli and American press. And this press writes that the Brazilian Air Force will soon buy a new batch of attack helicopters, and that these helicopters will not exactly become Mi-35 and are unlikely to become Ka-52 and Mi-28HE. It is reported that the Brazilian pilots were not able to fully familiarize themselves with these helicopters during their “viewing” in Russia.
The Brazilian resource, continuing to refer to foreign sources, writes that the Brazilian Air Force showed interest in the Italian AW129 Mangusta helicopters, the German-French Tiger Eurocopter and, of course, the American AH-1Z Viper.
It seems that the Western press does not publish objective information, but exerts a kind of pressure on the Brazilian Air Force, declaring which particular helicopters should be interesting to Brazilians. This is indirectly confirmed by the fact that at the official level, the Ministry of Defense of Brazil did not express any dissatisfaction with the Mi-35 helicopters, and there are no references to representatives of the Brazilian Air Force expressing any specific complaints about the Russian helicopters on this resource.
