If it turns out that the problem is again in the technical condition of the Mi-28, then it will prove once again that the raw Min.Oborone helicopter (which has been done for over 30 years) has crammed MI by MI ... Let me remind you that the Mi-28 lost a tender in India due to frequent surging of the engine after rocket launch. Also, for technical reasons, a car crashed at the Ryazan Air Show (you don’t need to say how to prepare equipment for such events) its exploitation was even completely stopped ... but the Mishniki lobby, as always, was at its best.
As a result, the loss of equipment in combat conditions due to breakdowns (I repeat if this is true) 3 accident is a regularity, not counting those that crashed / made a hard landing at the preparatory stages.
For comparison, the Ka-52 has 2 accidents, one at the test site (not combatant equipment) and the second at the training flight in Torzhok by mistake of pilots.

It is not clear why minus RUSSa. He only cited the information received in the media. It is still necessary to adequately respond to the incoming information, especially since it has already appeared on the VO.

A car is a car so they are forbidden to fly over the city. What will happen later will be too late. There is a place for a fighter to fly.

Slowly, but surely, they are crawling to the borders of Russia. Therefore, it is absolutely clear who is the aggressor and who is not. In addition, it is NATO that is deploying missile defense systems near Russia. NATO's military infrastructure is approaching our borders, and not vice versa. And the question arises: Who, from whom should defend themselves? Russia has never been aggressive towards NATO and has always been looking for contacts for joint cooperation. Moreover, Russia tried to ensure reliable security in Europe .. The aspirations of NATO peacekeepers are simple. Yes, peace, yes, security. But only for peacekeepers. For example, for Americans to live peacefully and safely, war is needed in other countries. And after the wars, peace will come there. Convenient for such a large and important member of NATO as the United States ...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SURE SOMETHING AND WHAT SOMETHING THE NEWS?

Or like a burnt zhurnalyug-tsinyug, if only hotter.

The cause of the crash of the Mi-28Н helicopter in Syria could be unfavorable flight conditions, the military-industrial complex told Interfax on Tuesday.

“The flight was carried out over low-orientation terrain in conditions of almost complete darkness. Pilots piloted a combat vehicle with night vision goggles. It is possible that there could be some kind of obstacle that the helicopter collided with, ”the agency’s interlocutor said.

It seems in 1990. there was a violation of the state border by 2 Belgian F-16s at low altitude, over a complex terrain in the Batumi region. Then they circled the aerial of Batumi over the runway and along the gorge went back to Turkey with impunity. I would like this to not happen again, in case of violation of our air lines, to shoot down ruthlessly.
