The Russian Mi-35M attack helicopter, when performing anti-tank and multi-purpose strike operations, has approached the combat potential of the Mi-28NM. The multispectral optoelectronic sighting system located on the lower nose of the fuselage on the GOES-342 gyro-stabilized platform provides the crew with detection of "tank"-type targets in the infrared channel at a distance of up to 7 km at night and classification - about 5 km.
Supersonic 9M120-1 Ataka-V ATGMs can be used at this distance, the number of which on suspensions has been increased to 16 units.
The PrVK-24 sighting and computing complex with a more advanced ballistic computer and the KnEI-24 navigation and instrument indication complex provide the machine with the ability to conduct more accurate firing from a climb with a combat accuracy of approximately 250 m in range and 150 m on the side when firing at a distance of about 10 km.
Nevertheless, the Mi-35M's SUV does not have advanced all-weather modes due to the lack of onboard radar.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian Aerospace Forces began to use ultra-long-range bombs with UMPB.
