A few facts about MI-28 Russian helicopter.

After the war of Afghanistan there was clear that Soviet army needs a
new helicopter to come replace the MI-24 used at times. In 1982 the Mile
bureau introduced the new helicopter – MI-28, which was equal to the
newly adopted “Apache” helicopters of USA and superseding the existing
Soviet MI-24 copters. This was the most armored helicopter in the world.
It couldn’t be shot down from the ground with the help of just handheld
fire arms.

In 1984 the machine went into series.

HI PilotJedi,

Thank you for the background information and the link. It is appreciated.

Second that!

And I thought the 'Apache' was a mugly other...
