Russia has upgraded its Mi-28NM attack helicopters to launch long-range cruise missiles. Footage released by the Russian Ministry of Defence shows a Mi-28NM firing two Dan-T long-range cruise missiles at Ukrainian posts. As per reports, the helicopter can also fire S8000 Banderol missiles. The Mi-28 is an attack helicopter that can carry out daytime and nighttime operations and can even conduct missions in bad weather conditions. Using the Dan-T missile allows the Mi-28NM to strike deep inside Ukraine without exposing itself to incoming enemy fire. The Dan-T has a maximum strike range of 500 kilometres and is at least 35% cheaper than the Banderol, which also has a similar strike range. As per Ukrainian claims, Russia plans to manufacture between 10,000 to 14,000 Dan-T missiles in 2027. Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost….Read More
