This book deals primarily with the three principal attack helicopter types of the present-day Russian Army. The MI-24 'Hind' - otherwise known as the "Flying Crocodile" - has been produced in large numbers with many versions and variants produced. It has been supplied to a host of countries and seen considerable combat action conflicts both in the Soviet Union and abroad. |
It still forms the backbone of army aviation in Russia and remains at the forefront of national exposure. The MI-28 is a more contemporary type and is broadly the equivalent of the McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache. The Kamov Ka-52 'Alligator' - NATO-Name 'Hokum-B' - also features. This helicopter is in service with the Army and is entering service also with the Russian Navy.
