A unique episode has appeared online of a pilot performing an anti-aircraft maneuver in a Mi-24V/VP attack-transport multi-purpose helicopter immediately after firing on enemy positions with unguided S-8 family rockets in a cabriolet mode.
Immediately after the salvo, the ultraviolet sensors of the L-370 Vitebsk onboard defense system could have detected ultraviolet radiation from the solid propellant rocket motor of the Piorun/Stinger SAM, notifying the pilot, or the pilot himself saw the launch.
After that, the pilot went to the "hill" with an energetic turn to the left in yaw and entered a dive with further low-altitude alignment into horizontal flight at an altitude of no more than 25 m.
Modifications of the Mi-24VK-1/2 can be equipped with multispectral optoelectronic systems that provide the use of Ataka-V anti-tank/multi-purpose tactical missiles at night at a distance of up to 5 - 6 km.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Rostec will significantly increase the supply of components for MS-21 and SJ-100 engines.
