MIL MI-28

HAVOC
The Mi-28 is a Russian attack helicopter. The first prototype made
its first flight in 1982. Three more prototypes were built. Two of
theme were completed to improved Mi-28A standard with
upgraded engines. The last production-standard prototype also had
a moving, gyro-stabilized, undernose electro-optical sensor turret
and wing-tip pods carrying electronic counter measures and chaff
dispensers.

To meet a Russian Army requirement for a new attack helicopter

the Mi-28 competed against a Kamov Ka-50. During the trials the
Mi-28 was reportedly defeated by the Ka-50. However Mil received
  a production order for a small batch of Mi-28 helicopters, most
likely in order to prevent the manufacturer from going bankrupt.
The original Mi-28 and the improved Mi-28A versions never
reached mass production. The definitive production version
became the further improved Mi-28N which had an added
night attack capability. In 2005 Russian MoD ordered 67
Mi-28N helicopters. Series production began during the same
year.
Cost of one Mi-28N is around $18 milion.
Since 2020 the Mi-28N is no longer produced and production
switched to an improved Mi-28NM (SUPERHUNTER) version.
A small number of these helicopters are in service with the
Russian Army. It was planned that by 2027 a total of 98 Mi-
28NM gunships will be delivered to the Russian Army. The Mi-
28N, and likely the latest Mi-28NM, helicopters were widely
used during the 2022 Russian intervention in Ukraine.
