Mi-28HE and Mi-35 helicopters play a significant role in battles with IS militants, reports RIA News Statement by the representative of the Iraqi Command, General Al-Zubaydi.



“The Mi-28НЭ (" Night Hunters ") and Mi-35 helicopters, now used by the Iraqi army, have shown their high efficiency. They played a big role in the recent battles, ”said al-Zubaydi.

Recall that the government forces of Iraq and Shiite militia a week ago launched an operation to liberate the city of Fallujah. During this time, the Iraqi units, with the support of the Western coalition, liberated a number of settlements and destroyed the leader of the local IG unit, Haji Hamzu.

According to the agency, “the city of Fallujah is located in 50 kilometers west of Baghdad, the IS militants keep it from 2014, about 350 thousand people lived in the city before the war”.

      Russian combat helicopters are a fusion of the ideas of the cleverest engineers and designers, the professionalism of workers, the vast experience of the Afghan and Chechen wars embodied in metal! And if you add to this the professionalism and courage of Russian pilots, this is the best that can be in aviation!

            Let me refute you! I talked with the American marin this winter, and we talked about the good old Russian Hallivar about the M16 and the Ak, he agreed with the reliability and the best combat qualities of the AK at short distances, about the 7-62 power. I asked him, what would you choose in battle? He said, only our American, and asked why ??? And he said, we cannot use captured weapons, they are most often spoiled and destroyed on the spot. If there is a lot, then they are shipped. Soldiers hide pistols, disassemble them in parts, stuff them into pipes, boxes, wherever they want to hide them in parts, so that they don't find the whole captured cannon. And houses in the States are already collecting their theft-prey, and there they are already carrying home. Why can't you take a trophy? 1) For safety reasons. 2) by the sound of shooting, friendly can open fire on friendly people. He himself was 2 times in Iraq, studied in the battle for Fallujah. And now on vacation in Jakarta, where we actually met. We talked a lot about his service, learned a lot, some stereotypes about their army are true, but most, our jingoistic patriots invented or inflated from a one-time occasion into "like-so-always."

      Well, this is not the first time I am repeating to the fans of our helicopters - compare weapons, read, because it is clear that the weapons of APACH LONGBOU are superior to those of our attack helicopters: APACH LONGBOU: 30mm cannon ammunition of 1200 shells, HAYLFAIR missiles with an infrared homing head -
      MI28: 30mm cannon ammunition for 300 shells, ATAKA missiles with laser illumination - that is, you need to highlight the target before it hits, the helicopter risks being shot down. Plus, the APACH LONGBOW system allows you to identify up to 16 targets in a matter of seconds and release HAILFAIR ATGMs in 5 seconds and will be deleted even before the missiles hit the target.

        Well, this is not the first time I am repeating to the fans of our helicopters - compare the weapons, read, because it is clear that the weapons of APACH LONGBOU surpass the head-gear of our attack helicopters:

        It's not about armament, but about the ability to fight on such a technique ... here is an example for you:
        In 1999, the Yugoslav Mi-24V shot down the An-9D “Apache” and the transport “Black Hawk” of the US Air Force, performing the operation to rescue the F-114 pilot shot down by the Serbian Mi-2, with the Sturm 64M21M16.

        I must say that the Mi-35 helicopter (export designation Mi-24V) was built in 1986 and had very imperfect equipment for night combat, which was equipped with all the Mi-24P (the series began production in 1986) and the Mi-24V, built since 1986 to 1989 As a matter of fact, all the equipment for conducting military operations in the dark consisted of an ONG pilot with a detection range of not more than 3 km and infrared illumination of the HUD and instruments in the cockpit, as well as a removable night vision nozzle on the Rainbow system targeting eyepieces with an aiming range ATGM with an increase of 16x8km and range in search mode with an increase of 8x6km. In the afternoon, the operator’s night vision device was replaced with a less contrast infravisor for working with low light levels, as well as for detecting thermal traces of armored vehicles and enemy aircraft. It was noted that in the dark, scanning by the operator at a distance of 6 km gives a probability of detecting a target of no more than 22%, and, moreover, greatly overloads the operator.

        His opponent was much superior to the Serbian helicopter - the AN-64D Apache Longbow belonged to a series launched in 1993, had all the necessary avionics for combat in the dark. The front vision system of night vision had an effective range of 6 km, and its “picture” was transmitted to the pilot's helmet. The operator’s ATG guidance equipment was also much more advanced, but, most importantly, the American helicopter carried a round-robin radar in a radius of 9,3 km, which allowed it to independently direct the Hellfire missiles from the PRGSN to a range of 8 km. The Mi-35K had the only qualitative superiority in guided missile weapons - the ATGM 9M117M2 - the last modification of the “Sturm” hit 7km, surpassing the Hellfire in maximum speed by 120m / s, and in average speed by 100. In addition to precise command guidance, on the final at the stage of approaching the target, the Sturm IKGSN was captured, and the GOS was adapted for low temperatures - designed to destroy tanks with a weak exhaust infrared signature and “did not pay attention” to high-temperature noise - for the same reason - when tanks are burning and shells are breaking, it is necessary to find a true, active target. In combination with command correction, the probability of a Sturm helicopter being hit was close to 95%, which was also shown by the battles with the Cobras, while the Hellfire radar had a helicopter chance of about 80%, and when using corner reflectors it was another 30% less. The fact that the Serbian Mi-35K had more advanced RVVs - 2 R-60Ms against one AIM-9M and two Apache Stingers did not play any role - both helicopters had an EVU and could exchange launches of the R-60M and AIM-9M from a distance of not more than 4km.

          In this case, a “cruel joke” with “Apache” was played by his own radar - SPO-17 of the Serbian machine determined the direction of irradiation with an accuracy of 10 ° from 12 km, outside the radius of the American radar, after which the Mi-35, hiding in the folds of the terrain, walked on the passive bearing, and the operator, in the direction of the bearing, was looking for a target in a small sector, which allowed him to use the 8km mode with 16x magnification. When the helicopters approached 6700m, the Mi-35 got up, immediately “appeared” on the Apache MFD and launched, the American helicopter was already doomed ... After which the Serbian car caught up and shot the “Black Hawk” - all the paratroopers died.

          Another - the last victory of the Mi-24 over the “Apache” occurred most recently on July 22, 2002. In this case, the situation was exactly the opposite. Over DMZ between North and South Korea, the South Korean Apache AN-64A and the North Korean Mi-35VPM or Mi-35PV clashed (in fact, Mi-35VPM and Mi-35PV are export designations of the Mi-24VPM and Mi-24PV, differing only in artillery armament - Mi-24VPM carries a 23mm high-speed quick-fire gun GS-23L, and Mi-24PV carries an exchange rate quick-fire artillery system GS-30K, however, in China (where the aforementioned vehicles were delivered - they came to North Korea in the order of “brotherly help” of China, rather total, and piloted them in Chinese military experts) Mi-35PV was finalized by the installation in the same way as the GSh-23 high-mobility 23mm cannon, copied from the old Soviet NR-23M, which has four times lower rate of fire, but the equivalent initial projectile speed, intended mainly for air combat and infantry fighting and light armored vehicles. The rest were almost identical helicopters, with integrated armor not inferior to the Mi-28, the Ataka complex, which in addition to anti-tank missiles at 6 and 8 km was equipped with anti-bunker missiles, as well as anti-helicopter missiles with a range of 7 and 10 km. Helicopters of this series carried S-8 blocks on the inner pylons, on the outer pylons in the four-position ATU “Attack”, on the tips on the two-position APU “Attack” and one, Igla-V, fixed from below. On the side of the tips, APUs are placed perpendicularly for two (one on each tip) of the P-62M corrected high-precision anti-fighter missiles, with a range of up to 15 km. (Russian helicopters use more advanced missiles of the same P-64V design at 17 km, but the army designation is advanced and export option is identical - R-60KM). In addition, sighting equipment was completely new; it was represented by a round-the-clock numerical EOS mounted on the wing with a detection range of 15 km and automatic capture of objects. The small scanning zone within + -17 ° was compensated by the “yaw” technique, perfect numerical EOS and high automation. These modernized helicopters were built on the basis of the already highly efficient Mi-24VP of the 1889-1992 series, bringing the Mi-24VP to the VPM standard was reduced to an additional radio line for automatic pilot guidance of the R-60KM, the most “young” Mi-24P were brought to the PV standard by installing EOS, armor protection Mi-24VP and the same additional command line since 1997. So, we can safely say that the North Korean helicopter was much more perfect even the AN-64D Apache Longbow, and the battle took place with the first version of the Apache AN-64A of the 1983 series, which did not carry the RVV at all, and its “main caliber” was obsolete laser Hellfires of the first modification with a range of 6 km ... It was a one-goal game.

          The point was set by a detailed study of the wreckage - tungsten rods of a certain length were found in various helicopter assemblies that are used in all modifications of the R-60 family missiles, as well as in the ATA anti-helicopter missiles of the Ataka complex. And the pilots had nothing to do with it - they simply had no chance.
          Thus, 24 combat helicopters of the enemy were shot down by Mi-17 helicopters of various modifications: modifications of the “Cobra” AN-1J, AH-1S, AH-1W, “Apache” AN-64D, AN-64A, Mi-24V helicopters; in this case, only 8 Mi-24D and V. were lost (However, a downed Georgian 24ka can be credited both to the account of victories and to the account of defeats). As a result, the ratio of losses in helicopter battles involving Mi-24 (if the Georgian Mi-24V is excluded) is 8-16, that is, for each downed Soviet combat vehicle there are two destroyed production helicopters, mainly the United States. Note that two precedents for the battles between the Mi-24 and the advertised “Apache” ended in the death of American helicopters and a brilliant victory for the Mi-24.

                From the Mi8 the Mi24 was "born", from the Mi24 - the Mi28 everything is in motion ... And like it or not, the Mi24 transport-combat helicopter had to turn into a purely combat Mi28. This way you can beat the enemy more effectively.

    I remember in Torzhok somewhere in 2009 ... just 35 appeared, sat in a cafe at the entrance and went from Leningradsky to the fliers, watched the World Cup in hockey, cheered for ours in the final (our Canadians won 2-1, Radulov won the victory. .. kind of ...). They learned to fly 35-ke. Reviews were most enthusiastic about the convenience and comfort of the pilots.

        For those not knowledgeable wink... Torzhok is a large gas transportation hub in Russia where gas comes from Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta. And where is the branching of the streams to St. Petersburg (where you ate Courvoisier and Ruslan ... sad ) and further to Estonia and Belarus (export pipelines). Well, and something else ...

        Ask the NKVD agents who wrote the denunciations why your great-grandfather annoyed them that they accused him of espionage. Most likely they accused him of their own, having fallen for something shallow. In those days in Torzhok there were no flyers and gas.

    The Mi-28H helicopter "Night Hunter" has a special system of pilot protection and can "see" the enemy at a distance of 35 kilometers even in the dark. Test pilots call it a "fighter helicopter", and the people have already dubbed it a "flying tank."

      Be that as it may, the Mi-28N has something to hait for. He is not able, so to speak, to use weapons on the "fire and forget" principle. Using the same ATGM, she needs to highlight the target all the time. although this is more a minus of the rocket itself than of the helicopter request

        A helicopter is primarily a weapon and far from the worst of its kind, but one of the best. It is important who is sitting in the cockpit of this machine. It is the pilot who tips the scales in battle in his direction or in the direction of the adversary.
        At the same time, MI-24 is recalled ... "Crocodile" is a real fighter, who has proved this title more than once in more than one war. At the same time, it is on account of 24 that there is one shot down combat aircraft. At the same time, the survivability of not only the 24th, but and all our other helicopters are higher than those of Western machines, which is also proven by combat use. hi

    I have one clever idea, but don’t be offended ... But I wonder if anyone thought how to make, for example, combat helicopters so that they could refuel in the air without landing on water or land? Can you imagine? Does three troop helicopters fly on combat duty from Vladik to California? Refuel several times. Fly themselves quietly in a neutral space opposite Los Angeles. Therefore, refueling several more times, they return to the mainland. AND? Sorry for the thoughts.

      Vladivostok - Los Angeles 8180 km,

      The speed is 250 km / h, access to the duty area in the air will take 32 hours of flight time. Continuous flight.

      8 (eight) refueling every 1100 km.

      Further refueling every four hours of duty.

      Then back in reverse order.

      A six-hour duty in the air will require 72 hours of flight.

    Words then what "BATTLES". Can give themselves significance. I opened the encyclopedia of the Great Patriotic War, 85 edition, leafed through the color maps at the end, found only three battles - the Smolensk and Kursk defensive battles, battles on the outskirts of Stalingrad, and the rest of the battles or operations, including the Vistula Oder and Korsun-Shevchenkovskaya, the battle for Moscow, the battle for the Dnieper, like many others. And they probably have no less scope there. The battles of your division.

    Liter "N" without a radar overhead can be removed. Mi-28 and that's it. Thanks to the desire (quite justified) that we had our own Apache helicopter and went into series. The Ka-50 was chosen as the main attack helicopter, later the Ka-52, and in order to save the development of the Milevites, it was a scout that was demanded from them. Maybe it was a trick to save their project, and even then it was suspected that the supra-hub radar would not work. But we just got a second attack aircraft. I will not say whether this is good or bad, there are different opinions - opponents are convincing that we should not be scattered about creating the same type of machines (well, I don’t know - the Mi-28 has already been exported and brings money to the creators, but the Ka-52 is still at home). I am glad that the Milians have implemented the project. Just repeat - this is not "Night Hunter".
