RUSSIA IS NOT FAR AWAY:
Mi-35M Combat & Transport Helicopter.
By Capt. Sana Nasri

After the end of World War II, military hardware industry of the world was divided between US-led Western Bloc and a Soviet-led Bloc. Although the equipment manufactured in the West dominated the export industry, yet Russian hard-ware also made its mark in the militaries around the world. Even after the end of the Cold War, though seemingly Western Club led by the USdominates due to a common perception of better technology, yet Russian defence industry is not far too behind. Mi-35M helicopter is one such example.

Mi-35M is categorized as one of the latest helicopters in the world. Manufactured by Russia, it is a multi-role combat helicopter that can both be used in combat as well as transportation role. The latest series of the kind of machines was derived from the Mi-8 helicopter, which was later transformed to Mi-14, Mi-28, and Mi-24 which is also known as 'Flying Tank'. The export versions of Mi-24 are Mi-25 and Mi-35M.

Mi-35M is a versatile and reliable air transport with heavy armour, good transport capacity, and a nose canon for defence against light vehicles and other helicopters. The main role of this helicopter is carrying out a wider range of combat missions like destruction of armoured vehicles, enemy troops, UAVs and other helicopters, including air reconnaissance with real-time target location. Its secondary role is troop’s delivery, special cargo, and evacuation of casualties. It can also operate at night and in adverse weather conditions.

The helicopter is fitted with new main and tail rotors, a new swash plate assembly, a shorter modernized wing with a integrated cargo lifting system, a non-retractable landing gear. It differs from the basic model by main rotor system of the Mi-28 and X-shape tail rotor. Fibre-glass blades of main rotors have new aerodynamic profile. These are lighter but stronger due to titanium details. Wings have a number of hard points for weapons and other uses.

Mi-35M has a payload capacity of a 2,400 kg. It can carry 2 crew members and a full infantry section of 8
fully-equipped troops. This feature makes this helicopter unique comparing with Western attack helicopters. A
large calibre machine gun, as well as general purpose machine guns can be installed in the cargo cabin, too.
The helicopter has increased-capacity external fuel tanks, and an upgraded 2 power plants, GTD TV3-117VMA turbo-shaft engines with maximum speed of 310 km/ h. The fuel tank has self-sealing covers and porous fuel tank filler for increased survivability and the exhaust is fitted with infrared suppression systems. Also, these measures increase the hovering ceiling of the helicopter up to 4,000 meters and its service ceiling up to S,700 meters.

Mi-35M has a whole spectrum of new electronic systems adopted in the glass cockpit. It accommodates two pilots in tandem configuration. The Night Vision Goggle (NVG)-compatible cockpit integrates Multi-Functional Displays (MFDs), redundant flight controls and state-of-the-art avionics. The helicopter is equipped with OPS-24N Surveillance-and-sighting station, television channel, GPS-guided navigation system and optional non-Russian radio station. Also, countermeasures capability of Mi-35M includes a radar warning receiver, a laser range finder and a location finder, chaff and flare launch system, infrared (IR) jamming system and engine-exhaust IR suppressor, all onboard computer, and new generation jam-proof communications equipment.

Mi-35M helicopter's round-the-clock combat efficiency is enhanced by installation of eight highly effective ATGMs, unguided rockets or bombs, four Igla-V air-to-air missiles, up to 10 S-13 rockets, the nose turret carries GSh-23 (23mm) twobarrel gun cannon with 4S0-round ammunition load, and improved weapons control system, computer system, andsoftware. The cockpit and vital components of this helicopter are significantly armoured.

Mi-35M combat helicopter is a good choice for any modern army, provides an alternative to over-reliance and
Over dependence on Western technology, and, RUSSIA IS NOT TOO FAR AWAY!

Forces need revitalization
