OBJECT
A Russian anti-armor attack helicopter.


  The Mil Mi-28 also known as Havoc (NATO code name) is a Russian attack helicopter for all-weather day , night purposes ,designed under Marat Tishchenko in 1980 .  It was designed and better optimized as a tank hunter helicopter  than its previews version of Mi 24 which was "slower" and had transport purposes and less armament than the Mil Mi 28 .   The Mi 28 has 2 heavily  armored cockpits and a bulletproof windshield that can resist 7.62 mm enemy bullets. Also its nose its equipped with electronics and its narrow x tail rotor is reducing noise for stealthier missions against enemy infantry in the area . Even if the Mi 28 was not meant to transport troops it has the capability to carry three people and the reason is mostly for rescue purposes ( downed pilots etc ).   This attack helicopter is equipped  with a 30mm Chain gun  and it can carry various rockets , like  a pair o 8 Ataka missile racks along with 2 B-13L rocked pads which are  able to carry 5 S-13 rockets.
