Dmitri Mironov (Butcher171), St. Petersburg, 2011 , the Registry of the Mi-28N - HAVOC-B Weatherproof night-day attack helicopter. In 1993, after the end of the first stage of state trials attack helicopter Mi-28A was obtained preliminary conclusion on the issue of the initial batch of helicopters equipped with complex equipment and weapons for use in day-limited and adverse weather conditions. However, MV Weinberg, who by that time chief designer "Mil. ML Mile ", has decided to discontinue the development of the Mi-28A at the final stage of state trials and concentrate all forces and financial opportunities for the development of a combat helicopter Mi-28N (" H "- a night) - ROC" Vanguard 2 "- around the clock and all-weather, with essentially a new integrated set of on-board equipment of the fifth generation.

Test
. The first experimental helicopter Mi-28N was built in August 1996 and made its first flight 14 November 1997 (test pilot and navigator V.V.Yudin S.V.Nikulin), and on April 30, 1997 began to pass the factory flight tests. Four years later, the Mi-28N entered the state joint tests (2001). Given the high demand for military vehicles of this type, the command of the Russian Air Force in 2002, took the Mi-28N as the main combat helicopter promising future, without waiting for the completion of the test.In June 2005, the program has begun testing the second prototype prototype of the Mi-28N. March 4, 2006 after the successful completion of the first phase of the state joint tests the state commission chaired by Chief of the Russian Air Force, Army General V.S.Mihaylova issued a conclusion on the issue of the initial batch of Mi-28N. In May 2006, state tests to join the first serial Mi-28N board №32. State joint tests of the Mi-28N completed December 26, 2008 signing of the act on their end. At GSI participated 2 experienced and 7 pre helicopters. October 15, 2009 order of the President of the Russian Mi-28N officially adopted for use as the primary attack helicopter.

Dynamic circuit Mi-28N was the basis for the development of a cost center to them. ML Mile draft new helicopters air infantry fighting vehicle Mi-40 transport and passenger Mi-58.

Serial production
. Given the positive results of joint state tests of the first prototype of the Mi-28N, the Government of the Russian Federation December 14, 1997 issued a decree on the completion of the Mi-28 and the beginning of series production at the Rostov Helicopter Plant. However, due to the difficult economic situation in the country to complete the construction of the first pre-Rostovites helicopter was only in March 2004, in the variant versions of the Mi-28N "Night Hunter" - the first helicopter Rostov assembly (board №02, later - 024) made the first flight March 24, 2004 Before the formal decision December 27, 2005 the first flight made the first production helicopter aboard №32.

Issued March 4, 2006 the State Commission opinion on the issue of the initial batch of Mi-28N was the official definition of "Rostvertol" to start serial production of the Mi-28N and units for the customer - to carry out their operation. In the same year, the first production "Night Hunter" began to arrive in the Russian Air Force and signed a contract to supply up to 2015 67 Mi-28N. Earlier media announced its plans until 2010 to put 50 of these machines. Overall, domestic demand is estimated at 300 Air Force "Night Hunter". Interest in acquiring helicopters war ministries have expressed a number of foreign countries.Every year, planned to supply the Armed Forces of Russia for ten Mi-28N. As of 2010 serial production is zavodoa "Rostvertol" in Rostov-on-Don.

Prehistory of the Mi-28 ( available until the publication of a separate article ):
to deepen the development of the project combat helicopter Mi-28 employees' Mil. ML Mile "under the leadership of MN Tishchenko started in 1972 December 16, 1976 the CPSU Central Committee and USSR Council of Ministers adopted a resolution on the development of a combat helicopter Mi-28. All work was headed by Deputy Chief Designer A. Ivanov, a leading designer in charge was appointed MVWeinberg. Finding the most rational appearance and work to improve the technical and flight performance of the helicopter carried out in collaboration with specialized research, development and flight testing organizations.

By the end of 1977 designers Mil. ML Mile completed preliminary design, and in 1979 the DB started working rotorcraft design and testing of the first experimental models of assemblies and systems. In August 1980 the government commission on military-industrial issues, familiarized himself with the development of future combat helicopter Mi-28, decided to build a research and experimental samples, without waiting for the approval of the final layout. Therefore, the first prototype of the Mi-28, collected in July 1982, modify the required level in the process of development and flight testing.

November 10, 1982 the crew of the lead test pilot plant GR Karapetyan and test navigator VV Tsygankova first new helicopter lifted off the ground, and on 19 December the same year - made the first flight in a circle. The helicopter arrived on joint comparative state tests, in September 1983, pilot production cost centers completed the assembly of the second flying prototype. It was used to test the weapons.

In 1986, the Mi-28 has successfully passed the main part of the program state tests, and the following year was followed by a government decree to launch serial production of the helicopter. Then Mil. ML Mile completed the construction of pre-prototype, called Mi-28A. The helicopter has been praised by both domestic and foreign experts. It meets its intended purpose and in many respects superior to all helicopters of the same class. Piloting and maneuvering characteristics are unique and provide a high degree of survivability in air combat. May 6, 1993 test pilot Karapetyan first performed on the Mi-28 "loop the loop", and a few days later - "barrel."

Total including Mi-28A in 1982-1991 gg built and flew four Mi-28.

Dmitri Mironov (Butcher171), St. Petersburg, 2011 , the Registry of the Mi-28N - HAVOC-B Weatherproof night-day attack helicopter. In 1993, after the end of the first stage of state trials attack helicopter Mi-28A was obtained preliminary conclusion on the issue of the initial batch of helicopters equipped with complex equipment and weapons for use in day-limited and adverse weather conditions. However, MV Weinberg, who by that time chief designer "Mil. ML Mile ", has decided to discontinue the development of the Mi-28A at the final stage of state trials and concentrate all forces and financial opportunities for the development of a combat helicopter Mi-28N (" H "- a night) - ROC" Vanguard 2 "- around the clock and all-weather, with essentially a new integrated set of on-board equipment of the fifth generation.

Test
. The first experimental helicopter Mi-28N was built in August 1996 and made its first flight 14 November 1997 (test pilot and navigator V.V.Yudin S.V.Nikulin), and on April 30, 1997 began to pass the factory flight tests. Four years later, the Mi-28N entered the state joint tests (2001). Given the high demand for military vehicles of this type, the command of the Russian Air Force in 2002, took the Mi-28N as the main combat helicopter promising future, without waiting for the completion of the test.In June 2005, the program has begun testing the second prototype prototype of the Mi-28N. March 4, 2006 after the successful completion of the first phase of the state joint tests the state commission chaired by Chief of the Russian Air Force, Army General V.S.Mihaylova issued a conclusion on the issue of the initial batch of Mi-28N. In May 2006, state tests to join the first serial Mi-28N board №32. State joint tests of the Mi-28N completed December 26, 2008 signing of the act on their end. At GSI participated 2 experienced and 7 pre helicopters. October 15, 2009 order of the President of the Russian Mi-28N officially adopted for use as the primary attack helicopter.

Dynamic circuit Mi-28N was the basis for the development of a cost center to them. ML Mile draft new helicopters air infantry fighting vehicle Mi-40 transport and passenger Mi-58.

Serial production
. Given the positive results of joint state tests of the first prototype of the Mi-28N, the Government of the Russian Federation December 14, 1997 issued a decree on the completion of the Mi-28 and the beginning of series production at the Rostov Helicopter Plant. However, due to the difficult economic situation in the country to complete the construction of the first pre-Rostovites helicopter was only in March 2004, in the variant versions of the Mi-28N "Night Hunter" - the first helicopter Rostov assembly (board №02, later - 024) made the first flight March 24, 2004 Before the formal decision December 27, 2005 the first flight made the first production helicopter aboard №32.

Issued March 4, 2006 the State Commission opinion on the issue of the initial batch of Mi-28N was the official definition of "Rostvertol" to start serial production of the Mi-28N and units for the customer - to carry out their operation. In the same year, the first production "Night Hunter" began to arrive in the Russian Air Force and signed a contract to supply up to 2015 67 Mi-28N. Earlier media announced its plans until 2010 to put 50 of these machines. Overall, domestic demand is estimated at 300 Air Force "Night Hunter". Interest in acquiring helicopters war ministries have expressed a number of foreign countries.Every year, planned to supply the Armed Forces of Russia for ten Mi-28N. As of 2010 serial production is zavodoa "Rostvertol" in Rostov-on-Don.

Continuous assembly of Mi-28N at the plant "Rostvertol", probably in 2010 ( http://gunm.ru ).

Prehistory of the Mi-28 ( available until the publication of a separate article ):
to deepen the development of the project combat helicopter Mi-28 employees' Mil. ML Mile "under the leadership of MN Tishchenko started in 1972 December 16, 1976 the CPSU Central Committee and USSR Council of Ministers adopted a resolution on the development of a combat helicopter Mi-28. All work was headed by Deputy Chief Designer A. Ivanov, a leading designer in charge was appointed MVWeinberg. Finding the most rational appearance and work to improve the technical and flight performance of the helicopter carried out in collaboration with specialized research, development and flight testing organizations.

By the end of 1977 designers Mil. ML Mile completed preliminary design, and in 1979 the DB started working rotorcraft design and testing of the first experimental models of assemblies and systems. In August 1980 the government commission on military-industrial issues, familiarized himself with the development of future combat helicopter Mi-28, decided to build a research and experimental samples, without waiting for the approval of the final layout. Therefore, the first prototype of the Mi-28, collected in July 1982, modify the required level in the process of development and flight testing.

November 10, 1982 the crew of the lead test pilot plant GR Karapetyan and test navigator VV Tsygankova first new helicopter lifted off the ground, and on 19 December the same year - made the first flight in a circle. The helicopter arrived on joint comparative state tests, in September 1983, pilot production cost centers completed the assembly of the second flying prototype. It was used to test the weapons.

In 1986, the Mi-28 has successfully passed the main part of the program state tests, and the following year was followed by a government decree to launch serial production of the helicopter. Then Mil. ML Mile completed the construction of pre-prototype, called Mi-28A. The helicopter has been praised by both domestic and foreign experts. It meets its intended purpose and in many respects superior to all helicopters of the same class. Piloting and maneuvering characteristics are unique and provide a high degree of survivability in air combat. May 6, 1993 test pilot Karapetyan first performed on the Mi-28 "loop the loop", and a few days later - "barrel."

Beast of a helicopter. I have always been under the assumption that it equals the Apache in many aspects. I don't know why the Indians chose Apache over Mi-28N.
What edge does Apache exactly have over Nighthunters?

What edge does Apache exactly have over Nighthunters?
you could also ask what edge the Mi-28 has over the Apache

but the Apache is battle proven. Mi-28 is cheaper and more durable. it has a more powerful cannon I think. It carries more missiles and rockets.

if the Mi-28 had been used as extensively as the Mi-24 hind has it might of been more popular.
