Suspended fuel tanks are used to increase the flight duration of the rotorcraft.
Mi-28N "Night Hunter" is an attack helicopter capable of performing tasks around the clock at extremely low altitudes. The rotorcraft has high combat survivability due to the armored cabin, energy-absorbing seats and chassis, as well as a set of measures to protect vital systems and engines.
