According to Smirnov, “TSL-1600 is the only searchlight in Russia that was originally developed specifically for the aviation market in accordance with the requirements of the AR IAC and other organizations. TSL-1600 is installed on helicopters as an on-board controlled high-intensity light source. ”

The searchlight “possesses high light characteristics, which makes it possible to effectively carry out search and rescue, rescue operations, patrol, investigative, security measures. The searchlight can also be used for nighttime photo and video shooting, ”he noted.

said Smirnov.

“In our own certified laboratory, we conducted tests for vibration stability, low and high temperatures (–60 ° С limit, –50 ° С working). The first searchlight adapted to the conditions of the Arctic has already been installed on board the Mi-8AMTSH-VA helicopter, ”he said.

Only annoying, why TSL, and not TSL? Import substitution passed, or simply did not have time to replace the letters?

That's nice, the flashlights can be hidden in the glove compartment. "The projector can also be used for night photography and video shooting," and I thought for a "selfie" ...

Kronstadt today is just breaking the news

[LÄRZ]

Arctic helicopters Mi-8AMTS-VA ("Terminator") are planned to be equipped with search and rescue searchlights TSL-1600, RIA Novosti reports a message from the deputy head of the Kronstadt group Vadim Smirnov.

This is not the first time that information on products of this group has been held at VO. Well done, go ahead and not a story, but a show.

The event is of course an epoch-making! Now the helicopter pilots will have to fly more carefully so as not to shake the light.))
P.S. Back in 2014, American police helicopters tested this complex, and were pleased with the characteristics. .

Yes, there seems to be no spiral. Two contacts in an inert "gas", a galagenka or a fashionable xeonka. A dumb diode that is in Chinese lighters.
In the photo, my favorite SCORPION, we have used 600 tons of dead raccoons.
Ten years ago, we, the family, offered the Mi-8 for 25 t. Y / e. The truth is in a barely alive state. The repair came out at 250, plus permissions and generally under the green.
So we decided to "train on cats" -Gyrocar. Not expensive ...

TSL because "for the aviation market in accordance with the requirements of AR IAC"

And I wonder- If on this lamp, in polar night conditions through a night vision device, see what ahead of the saboteur burns out, optics or the cornea of ​​the eye? ...

[Приговор]

It seems to me that on all eights this spotlight should be an obligatory thing, and not just in the Arctic zone.

[your1970]

The MPRF was always standing, quite a light for itself, blinded at night, God forbid, when landing, the hunters loved to go to the Urals (car) to spit - chase game, in fact, you could approach a lit hare and take it by the ears. . ".....

[Very old]

It seems that they will
And I’m also interested to know how many professions MI-8 has mastered? Has anyone counted?
How universal this car was for M. Mil and his team - Class!
Once again I order Google everything about Miles - such an extensive topic

How universal this car was for M. Mil and his team - Class!

He would have reduced the noise of the engines, I don’t know the option with a fenistron, it seems, with an X-shaped tail rotor? They seem to be practicing for 35. This is a clapping sound.
For Mi 8AMShT and 17SH, it is important. On "soft feet" and at night ...
An expensive competitor to the EU 725 is much quieter, even in the daytime you notice when it is generally above your head. And on 8/17 you only turn your "head" around.

Strange decision at least! I wonder what will happen to the helicopters and its crew if this searchlight is turned on at night during the fighting ????
very strange

My father, he put a headlamp with IL 18, although it is designed for 28, 412. In the 90s, he tried to punish someone with a high beam at night. Stupidity ... but okay. At 412, the headlights themselves dazzled great.
Now she is farim, a night hunt.

Truckers took landing gears from the turntables at Kamaz, 28 volts, at Kamaz 24, but there was enough punishment on the highway

Our lantern from the front landing gear of the IL-18/20 chassis was upgraded to 12 volts, the radio operator of his father’s side, still didn’t go to Russia, lives next door. There is a Chinese 8 amp battery on the hunt.
My brother had the first Kruzak 24 volt, a pancake of the year mid 90's.
