Flying Tank
The Mi-28N "Night Hunter" has a special system to protect pilots and can "see" the enemy at a distance of 35 kilometers in the dark.
Test pilots call it "helicopter-fighter", and the people he has been dubbed the "flying tank".
"This is a complex, which allows the pilot to fight at night, it imagers. In this helicopter, they are implemented in two versions - for the pilot and the operator has a night-vision goggles, "- he said in an interview with RIA Novosti deputy chief designer of the Moscow Helicopter Plant Dmitry Sergeev.
According to the creators, the helicopter is equipped with an impressive stock of weapons. Built movable gun mount ten shots can literally spread on the part of the enemy's armored personnel carrier; missile complex "Igla" meant to destroy helicopters and unmanned enemy aircraft. However, the main strength of "Night Hunter" - is anti-tank missiles "Attack" against which not stand any one enemy tank.
"Night Hunter" is equipped with a special system survivability. Helicopters designed in such a way as to best protect the crew - a fully armored cab stand even a direct hit 12.7 mm bullets. The crew is in a special way - the pilot's seat is situated above the arrow, thus managed to make the car more flat, and therefore less vulnerable in combat.
Mi-28N "Night Hunter" has received the Russian Army. In the first place they will equip the military district in the Caucasus and the Far East.
Day and night combat helicopter Mi-28NE action is a double (pilot and navigator-operator) helicopter classic single-rotor scheme with a five-blade main rotor, and X-shaped tail rotor controlled stabilizer wheel fixed landing gear with tail wheel. The wing is used for the suspension of weapons and additional fuel tanks. Mi-28NE is designed to find and destroy tanks and other armored vehicles and low-speed air targets and enemy personnel.
To perform these tasks on the helicopter use the following weapons:
removable movable gun mount NPPU-28N with gun 2A42 of 30 mm caliber with 250 rounds ammunition;
universal gun pods UPK-23-250 (2 pieces) with the gun GSH-23L caliber 23 mm ammunition and 250 rounds in each container;
antitank missile system 9-A2313 "Attack-In" guided missile 9M120, 9M120F 9A-2200 (16 pcs);
guided missiles with thermal homing "Igla" (8 pcs);
rockets C-8 80 mm caliber in blocks B8V20-A (up to 4 units);
unguided rockets C-13 caliber 122 mm B13L1 blocks (up to 4 units);
standardized containers of small loads KMGU-2 (up to 4 units).
The helicopter is equipped with a complex avionics and instrumentation (avionics), ensuring the use of weapons and the decision of flight and navigation tasks day and night in simple and adverse weather conditions at extremely low altitudes with automatic terrain following and obstacle flyby.
OEE also provides control over the work of the power plant and other systems; voice announcement of the crew; radio communication between the helicopter and ground stations; communication between crew members and record their talks. In the avionics includes: navigation system, flight director complex, on-board computer system, information management system, multi-function information display system, the system of weapon control, surveillance and sighting station, thermal station pilot, airborne radar, the control system of missile weapons, helmet-mounted target designation system and display, night vision goggles, a complex communications system warning radar and laser irradiation and radio identification.
Design features provide a high survivability of the helicopter. Survival of the crew during the emergency landing with vertical speeds of up to 12 m / s is achieved by using a system of passive protection energopgloschayuschimi structural elements (chassis, seat, members of the fuselage).
