Rostvertol Enhances Military and Civil Offerings
New models of legacy airframes take advantage of advances in technology

The Rostvertol division of Russian Helicopters (Stand J53) is here in Singapore promoting products from its military and civilian lines. On the military side, there’s the new dual-control version of its all-weather Mi-28NE Night Hunter combat rotorcraft. Developed from experience and combat applications involving the Mi-35 series (in service with more than 20 countries’ armed services), the Mi-28NE is touted for its enhanced maneuverability. It can perform advanced aerobatics, the better to evade missile attacks. The Mi-28NE, along with its stablemate Mi-35M were demonstrated for the first time at last August’s MAKS-2015 show near Moscow.
