“We are pleased to announce the availability of the first batch of Mi-28UB helicopters. Of course, we are constantly working on improvement of the Mi-28 helicopter taking into account experience of its use in Syria. The emergence of training and combat version offers almost unlimited possibilities in terms of improving the pilots training system for Mi-28N. I’d like to note that the opportunity of learning not on the simulator but on a real combat helicopter is a considerable advantage of our military pilots compared to their colleagues from other countries. Soon we will transfer Mi-28UB helicopters to the Russian Aerospace Forces representatives,” said Chief Executive Officer of Russian Helicopters, Andrey Boginsky.
