The Mi-35P Phoenix multi-purpose helicopters with a "long" wing and a retractable landing gear began to be exported. At the moment, two international contracts are being implemented.
This was reported to RG on the sidelines of the MAKS-2021 air show.
For the first time, the Mi-35P helicopter was presented to the public at the military-technical forum "Army-2018". Compared to the classic Mi-24, the new machine received a round-the-clock survey and sighting system OPS-24N-1L with a target detection range of up to 10 kilometers and a double-barreled 23-mm gun.
The armament complex of the upgraded Mi-35P also includes unguided S-8 missiles, universal suspended cannon containers, guided missiles with laser guidance "Attack" or "Vortex", guided air-to - air missiles, aerial bombs-up to 500 kilograms, C-13 missiles of 122-mm caliber, as well as a 12.7-mm machine gun.
The new digital aerobatic system improves the handling and increases the stability of the helicopter. Thanks to the retractable landing gear, the helicopter has a maximum speed of more than 335 kilometers per hour.
The Mi-35P Phoenix helicopter can be used to destroy tanks and armored vehicles, as well as in the amphibious mode - to transport eight military personnel.
