Night Hunter Mi-28N Helicopter - A Flying TankMi-28N The Night Hunter has a special system of pilots protection and can see an enemy at 35km distance even in darkness.
Test pilots call it
fighter-helicopter and ordinary people know it as a flying tank.
Night
vision goggles of the helicopter allow a pilot to fight even in the
night time. It is equipped with an impressive armory reserve. An inbuilt
movable gun can totally destroy an armored personal carrier in 10
shots. The rockets complex Igla is intended for destruction of
helicopters and drones. However, the main power of the Night Hunter is
in its anti-tank missile Ataka against which all tanks are powerless.
The construction of the helicopter ensures the safety of the crew. The armoured cab withstands even direct hits of 12.7 mm bullets. A seat of the pilot is higher than the seat of the shooter so the vehicle has been made flatter and less vulnerable.
Mi-28N
helicopters are already coming into operation of the Russian army. The
Caucasus and The Russian Far East will see them first.
The
Flying Tank applies a complex of on-board radio-electronic and
instrumentation equipment that allows to use weapons and cope with
flight and navigation tasks day and night in any meteorogical conditions at the lowest possible height using automatic terrain and flying around obstacle.
