Export modifications of Russian combat helicopters Ka-52M and Mi-28NM will receive a new missile "Product 305E". This is reported by TASS with reference to the Deputy General Director of the High-Precision Complexes Holding (part of the Rostec State Corporation) Sergei Mikhailov.
During the EDEX 2021 arms exhibition, a representative of the company noted that the Ka-52M and Mi-28NM will receive a new missile. According to him, the "Product 305E" will increase the firing capabilities of helicopters.
Sergey Mikhailov stressed that the "Product 305E" missile was the first Russian multipurpose ammunition for helicopters. This allows strike vehicles to hit all types of targets.
In October, the Russian Defense Ministry agreed on the price of the first Ka-52M helicopters. The cost of each car was 1.75 billion rubles.
In September, the Izvestia newspaper reported that the light multipurpose guided missile (LMUR) "Product 305" confirmed combat capabilities during tests. The ammunition is designed for attack aircraft, attack and transport helicopters. Military expert Alexey Leonkov noted that the dimensions of the missile allow the LMUR to be equipped with attack drones.
In March 2019, a TASS source reported that the Mi-28NM helicopter would receive the Product 305 missile. He noted that the helicopter will be able to carry up to eight missiles. The range of the "Product-305E" ammunition will be 14.5 kilometers.
