mi-28

Two-seat all-weather attack helicopter made in the 1980s by the Mil helicopter company. It seats two crew in heavily-armored tandem cockpits, and can carry up to three passengers in a small cabin.

The Mi-28's fixed armament consists of a 30mm cannon in a dual-feed undernose barbette. It can carry a mix of antiair or ground-attack missiles, rockets, gun pods, and dispensers under its stub wings. A thimble radome on the nose of the helicopter houses a laser rangefinder and radar that provides ranging and weapon guidance; the Mi-28N variant augments this with a mast-mounted radar and a chin-mounted FLIR/TV turret.
