Description

The Mil Mi-28 was developed as a potential replacement for Soviet Army Mi-24 attack/assault helicopter in the late 1980s. Dubbed 'Havoc' by NATO/Western Intelligence the original Mi-28 was a twin-seat attack helicopter heavier and larger than US Army's AH-64A Apache due to a more effective armor made of titanium and ceramics. The Soviet Union collapse and the Russian turmoil delayed its development and fielding. In the mid-1990s Mil introduced an improved variant equipped with wingtip mounted countermeasures and a mast-mounted millimeter wave radar in addition to the nose radome infrared/laser sight system already introduced on the Mi-28. The new variant was named the Mi-28N and was optimized for night/all-weather attack missions. The maiden flight of Mi-28N occurred in April 1997.
