Mil Mi-35 (Five)
Five. Widescreen, wallpaper, helicopter, naval, military, Russian, Air Force, attack, aircraft, airplane. photo, image, picture, review, specification.
The helicopter has six suspension weapon units on the wingtips. The Mi24D (Mi-25) and the Mi-35V (Mi-35) are equipped with a YakB four-barrelled, 12.7mm, built-in, flexibly mounted machine gun, which has a firing rate of 4,000-4,500 rounds a minute and a muzzle velocity of 860m/s. The Mi-35P is fitted with a 30mm, built-in, fixed gun mount; the Mi-35VP with a 23mm, built-in, flexibly mounted gun. The Mi-35P and Mi-35V have four underwing pylons for up to 12 anti-tank missiles. The Mi-35V (Mi-35) is armed with the Shturm anti-tank guided missile system. Shturm (Nato designation AT-6 Spiral) is a short-range missile with semi-automatic radio command guidance. The 5.4kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead is capable of penetrating up to 650mm of armour. Maximum range is 5km. The Mi-35V can also carry the longer-range Ataka anti-tank missile system (Nato designation AT-9), as can the Mi-35P. The Ataka missile's guidance is by narrow radar beam, and the maximum range of the missile is 8km. The average target range is between 3km-6km. The target hit probability of the Ataka missile is higher than 0.96 at ranges 3km-6km. The missile has a shaped-charge 7.4kg warhead, with a tandem charge for penetration of 800mm-thick explosive reactive armour. All Mi-35 helicopters can also be armed with rockets and grenade launchers. The Mi-35D is equipped with the KPS-53A electro-optical sighting pod. The most recent Mi-35V and P variants have a digital PNK-24 avionics suite and multifunction LCD cockpit displays, and Geofizika ONV1 night-vision goggles, along with NVG-compatible cockpit lighting. They are fitted with the Urals Optical and Mechanical Plant GOES-342 TV/FLIR sighting system and a laser rangefinder. Countermeasures include infrared jammer, radar warner and flare dispensers. The helicopter is powered by two Isotov TV3-117VMA turboshaft engines, developing 2,200shp each. The air intakes are fitted with deflectors and separators to prevent dust particle ingestion when taking off from unprepared sites. An auxiliary power unit is fitted. The internal fuel capacity is 1,500kg, with an additional 1,000kg in an auxiliary tank in the cabin or 1,200kg on four external tanks. The fuel tank has self-sealing covers and porous fuel tank filler for increased survivability, and the exhaust is fitted with infrared suppression systems. Gunship attrition rates were high. The environment itself, dusty and often hot, was rough on the machines; dusty conditions led to the development of the PZU air intake filters. And of course, the rebels fought back whenever they could. Their primary air-defence weapons early in the war were heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons, though anything smaller than a 23 millimetre gun generally did not do much to the Mi-35. The cockpit glass panels were resistant to 12.7 mm (0.5 in) rounds. The rebels also used a number of Soviet made shoulder-launched, heat-seeking SAMs, which had either been captured from the Soviets or their Afghan allies or were supplied from Western sources. Many of them came from stocks the Israelis had captured during their wars with Soviet client states in the Middle East. However, owing to a combination of the limited capabilities of these early types of missiles, poor training and poor material condition of the missiles, they were not particularly effective.
