The Russian Mi-28 Havoc attack helicopter.
The Mi-28 battle helicopter has been created by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and is known by the NATO code name is Havoc. In August 1996 Mil revealed a model of the day and night skilled adaptation, the Mi-28N Night Havoc. The primary creation Mi-28N took its first trip in April 2004 and started flight testing with the Russian Air Force in June 2005.
The Russian Air Force has plans to obtain up to 60 of this variation, presently called the Mi-28NE Night Hunter.
Three were requested in 2005 and 16 more in 2006 for conveyance by 2008. The main creation airplane was conveyed in May 2006 and started formal acknowledgment testing in September 2006. Five airplane are associated with the testing which is planned to close in mid 2008.
Mi-28 can fly at a maximum speed of 300km/h, can fly rearwards and sideways at speeds up to 100km/h and is able to hover turn at 45° a second.
Mi-28 Havoc attack helicopter design
The helicopter configuration depends on the customary unit and blast arrangement, with a tail rotor. The principle rotor head has elastomeric course and the primary rotor cutting edges are produced using composite materials. The tail rotor is planned on a biplane design, with freely controlled X-formed cutting edges. Another structure of all plastic rotor cutting edges, which can support hits from 30mm shells, has been introduced on the Night Havoc Mi-28N helicopter.
The helicopter has non-retractable and tricycle tail-wheel type landing gear. The vitality retaining landing apparatus and seats secure the team in an accident arrival or in a low-height vertical fall.The group can endure a vertical fall of up to 12m/s. The Mi-28 has a fully armoured cabin and including the windshield, which withstands impact by 7.62mm, 12.7mm bullets and 20mm shell fragments.
Mi-28 weapons
The Mi-28A has little cleared back, mid-mounted stub-wings with four suspension units. Countermeasures pods are mounted on the wingtips.The helicopter can be outfitted with a blend of aerial and air-to-ground rockets, unguided rockets, and podded weapons.
The Mi-28 and Mi-28N Night Havoc are equipped with Shturm and Ataka against tank rockets provided by the Kolumna Design Bureau (KBM). Up to 16 antitanks missiles can be mounted on the helicopter. Shturm is a short-range, radio command-guided missile.The Ataka rocket's direction is by restricted radar pillar, and greatest scope of the rocket is 8km. The rocket has a pair formed charge warhead for entrance of 950mm to 1,000mm defensive layer.
The helicopter can likewise convey four compartments, each with 20 80mm unguided rockets or with five 122mm rockets. The helicopter can on the other hand convey holders with projectile launchers, 23mm weapons, 12.7mm and 7.62mm automatic rifles, flying bombs, and combustible tanks.
The helicopter is outfitted with a turreted 2A42 30mm gun, balanced out in two tomahawks, with a gag speed of 1,000m/s.
Fire control and surveillance
The pilot utilizes a cap mounted objective designator, which distributes the objective to the guide's observation and fire control framework. The pilot/weapons official is then ready to send guided weapons or firearms against the objective. The targeting system follows the direction of the pilot’s eyes.
The incorporated observation and fire control framework has two optical stations giving wide and thin fields of view, a tight field-of-see optical TV slot, and laser rangefinder. The framework can move inside 110° in azimuth and from +13° to - 40° in rise.
TV3-117VMA turboshaft engine
The Mi-28A helicopter is controlled by two TV3-117VMA turboshaft motors, fitted on either side of the fuselage. It is furnished with a helper power unit for independent activity. The warm signature of the helicopter has been decreased by a factor of 2.5 occasions contrasted with its forerunner, the Mi-24.
MI-28N Night Havoc
The Night Havoc helicopter holds a large portion of the auxiliary plan of the Mi-28. The principle distinction is the establishment of a coordinated electronic battle framework. Different adjustments include: new principle gearbox for communicating higher capacity to the rotor; new high-effectiveness edges with cleared molded tips; and a motor fuel infusion control framework.
The primary sensors of the incorporated electronic battle framework are the microwave radar radio wire, mounted over the rotor head, and a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) framework. The framework shows the helicopter area on a moving guide pointer, and flight, frameworks and target data on fluid gem shows. The group are outfitted with night-vision goggles.
