3. Mil Mi-28NM Havoc
The latest Russian assault helicopter joins the legendary Mi-24 and the one-of-a-kind Ka-50 family. The Havoc has finally moulded itself into an all-around efficient design after an extraordinarily long development span of 27 years from first flight to debut. It is well renowned for its armor, which includes windshields that can survive hits from 14.5114mm bullets. During the fight of Palmyra in Syria, the Havoc had a successful combat debut. It has been in service with Russia, Iraq, and Algeria since 2020, with further orders on the way.

This is the Mi-28N export version, which is now in use by the Iraqi and Algerian air forces. Russian Helicopters announced an updated Mi-28NE model in August 2018, including upgrades to the main rotor system and engine unit, as well as additional on-board radio-electronic equipment. The helicopter is equipped with contemporary directional IR countermeasures (DIRCM) against short-range IR guided missiles, as well as increased armor. Its composite rotor blades can survive shells up to 20–30 mm in diameter, and the fuel system is fire and explosion resistant. It will also be able to fire the latest Khrizantema-V anti-tank guided missiles (9M123) (ATGMs).
