testing new helmet-mounted targeting sight for the Mi-28NM "
A helmet-mounted targeting and indication system with stereo imaging is undergoing test trials within the onboard equipment of the new Mi-28NM helicopter, a source in the russian defense industry told Lenta.ru online publication.
The system is a binocular with independent channels for both eyes which create a stereo vision effect. The helmet-mounted targeting system provides both technical and optical vision (with transmission ratio of 0.7-0.8).
The source said the Kamov design bureau initially displayed interest in the device to place it on Ka-50 and Ka-52 helicopters but "they later lost interest and might have changed the concept."
The helmet-mounted targeting systems are designated to target onboard armaments by a turn of the head of the pilot. The technical image (including the aiming mark) is projected to the display fixed to the pilot's helmet without impeding the vision of the outside situation.
Mi-28NM design began in 2009. The new variant is equipped with new N025 radar which provides for all-round view. It is armed with new radio-electronic warfare system which includes anti-missile laser. The helicopter is designated to search and destroy low-speed air targets, tanks, armored and non-armored hardware and troops round-the-clock and in bad weather conditions. The Mi-28NM made its maiden flight in October 2016.

RUSSIA’S ROSONBORONEXPORT IN TALKS WITH SEVERAL COUNTRIES TO SELL MI-35P
Rosonboronexport, the state-owned entity responsible for managing export opportunities for the Russian defence industry, that it was negotiating with several countries for the sale of Mil Mi-35P air-assault helicopters.
The Mi-35P is a new version of the Mi-35M, which is a modernized export-centric variant of the Mi-24 Hind assault helicopter, which popularized itself from its service in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
Rosonboronexport says the Mi-35P is equipped with a “23mm chin-mounted articulated double-barrel gun, HUD [heads-up display] in the pilot’s cockpit, multi-functional displays, gyro-stabilized optoelectronic system” and other features. The Mi-35P will also be capable of nighttime operations.
The Nigerian Air Force its first two (of 12) Mi-35M helicopters in April. The Pakistan Army has four Mi-35s on order, which it will reportedly . Reports had pegged Pakistan’s total Mi-35 requirement at 20 helicopters.[/COLOR]
The Mi-35 is manufactured from Russian Helicopters’ Rostvertol plant. It is powered by two turboshaft engines, either Klimov TV3-117VMA or VK-2500 for commonality with the Mi-17 and Mi-28, respectively.
The Mi-35 has a payload capacity of 2,400 kg, which translate into armaments – such as anti-tank guided missiles, 80mm or 122mm rockets, and 23mm gun pods – and personnel, such as special forces operatives.
The Mi-35 is also configurable with a complete self-protection suite comprising of passive sensors, such as a radar warning receiver, and countermeasures, such as directed infrared jamming and chaff/flares.
