Truck's driver. Russian helicopter armed with a missile with a range of 100 km

Russian Mi-28NM combat helicopters have discovered promising, high-precision, lightweight multipurpose guided missiles called “Product 305”. The Mi-28NM will be able to carry up to four long-range cruise missiles. AiF. ru & nbsp; found out what kind of & nbsp; missiles and & nbsp; why it was decided to equip the most modern Russian helicopter with it.

According to & nbsp; In the opinion of military experts, the use of cruise missiles will significantly increase the combat capabilities of the Mi-28NM in & nbsp; part of the high-precision destruction of enemy command posts, warehouses with & nbsp; weapons, other important military infrastructure and & nbsp; labor accumulations. In addition, no other helicopter in the & nbsp; world over & nbsp; today does not have cruise missiles of such a range and & nbsp; power in & nbsp; as the standard type of its aviation weapons.

Lightweight multipurpose guided missile, code name Product 305 with a & nbsp; maximum range of 100 kilometers was developed at & nbsp; Tula Design Bureau & nbsp; Instrument Engineering named after Shipunov. At present, flight testing of these helicopter cruise missiles continues here. In addition to the unique features of the range, the new weapon has an innovative control system, for example, the homing head does not react to thermal traps fired by the enemy and optical interference generated by the laser . & Nbsp;

The decision of & nbsp; rearm the Mi-28N helicopter took place depending on the results of the combat use of the craft during the operation in & nbsp; Syria. The Army was not happy with the destruction distance of the “ Attack '' anti-tank guided missiles. and & nbsp; “ Tourbillon-M & # 39; & # 39; 9-10 & nbsp; kilometers, as the MANPADS of NATO countries could hit targets at a distance of 12 & nbsp; kilometers.

Recall that the Mi-28NM are manufactured at the Rostvertol plant (included in & nbsp; “ Russian Helicopters ''). The most notable external difference between the Mi-28NM and the other models & nbsp; & mdash; the spherical radome of the radar station located just above the propeller. The helicopter is capable of performing a wide range of tasks & mdash; of & nbsp; recognition and & nbsp; targeting to & nbsp; destruction of land targets and & nbsp; aerial. The Mi-28NM arsenal includes a whole set of guided missiles. The vehicle is protected against & nbsp; armor-piercing shells up to & nbsp; 20 & nbsp; millimeters.

The main advantage of the upgraded version of the aircraft is the ability to perform all necessary functions in all weather conditions and at any time of day and night. New powerful engines Klimov VK2500P, and & nbsp; also improved rotor blades will increase the top speed by & nbsp; 13% and & nbsp; medium & nbsp; & mdash; up to & nbsp; 10%. This small increase in & nbsp; conditions of intense hostilities “ could resolve the issue of life and & nbsp; of death '; for those whom the helicopter was created to protect, or vice versa, to destroy. & nbsp;

The & nbsp; outlook of this machine can be judged by & nbsp; & quot; notice & quot; foreigners. For example, the Canadian portal HotCars writes that the Russian Mi-28 helicopter will make any enemy flee in the opposite direction with screams. Maybe, after finishing the machine with “ product 305 '' after some time an article will appear in a foreign edition on & nbsp; that now the enemy is even useless to run, the cruise missiles will catch up anyway.
