11:51 GMT, December 30, 2008 defpro CHKALOVSKY | Andrei Shibitov, CEO of Russian Helicopters said to Russian News Agency RIA Novosti on Friday, that the company has received 12 international orders for the Mi-28N attack helicopter, confirming also that some of these are for Venezuela.

Additionally to these contracts other nations such as Turkey had shown interest in buying the helicopters, he said. A national Turkish daily reported last week that Ankara was planning to buy 32 used Mi-28, however, no formal contracts had been signed yet. Such a deal could be worth a total of $1 billion.

The Mi-28 (NATO reporting name "Havoc") has been build in many different versions. The Mi-28N ("N" for Night Havoc) is a real all-weather day-night two-seat anti-armour combat helicopter developed by Russian Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant. In August 1996 Mil rolled out a prototype of these day-night capable version which took its maiden flight in 2004.

The Night Havoc is armed with Shturm (short-range, radio command-guided missile) and up to 16 Ataka anti-tank missiles both build by Russian Kolumna Design Bureau (KBM).

New development
Nowadays, the Russian Air Force plans to design a new fifth-generation helicopter, based on a modernization of the Havoc, the Mi-28NM ("M" for Modernized).

"We are working on the design of a new helicopter. Russia's military-industrial complex has solved the task of bringing into service the Mi-28H and Ka-52 helicopters. Now we're working on a fifth-generation helicopter," Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin told journalists.

p.s. treba se pozabaviti sa ovim......Mi-28NM????????????

 

Kolko sam pratio u poslednje vreme Turci su vec sklopili posao sa zabarima oko isporuke Agusta helikoptera. Bilo bi fino kad bi zaista raskinuli ugovor i odlucili se za Ka-52.

Mangusta će se raditi licencno u Turskoj tako da će Turska i njena industrija imati koristi od učestvovanja u projektu (Agusta je bila najviše otvorena što se transfera tehnologija tiče) i plus je rađena po turskim standardima koji su se razlikovali od osnovne verzije.

Ka-50-2 "Erdogan" je bio u konkurenciji ali je ispao tako da čisto sumnjam da taj helikopter ima neke šanse.

Ovo sa Mi-28N (ako je ovo uopšte tačno) bi trebalo da bude hitno rješenje dok T-129 ne budu ušli u upotrebu (za nekih 3-4 godine ako se ne varam).

Kao prelazno resenje moguce.Treba Turcima za borbu na istoku zemlje protiv kurda,to je i onako brdsko planinski deo gde je neophodna podrska helikoptera.
