The Mil Mi-35 (Миль Ми-35, NATO reporting name: Hind E) is a large helicopter gunship, attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It is produced by the Mil Moscow Helicopter factory. NATO calls, the export version a Hind E. This is an upgrade of the Mi-24. The electronics and weapons are the main upgrade.
The Mi-35 is basically the modernized model Mi-24V and is characterized by changes in weaponry, including the replacement of the rotating barrel 12.7 mm caliber machine gun by two 23mm guns. It is also equivalent to the Mi-24VM, which is a conversion kit offered by the Mil factory. The Mi-35 is characterized by an increase in engine power, which together amounted to 4.450 hp. The Mi-35 can reach higher altitudes than previous Mi-24D because of this modification. However there are some features that are specific to the Mi-35. Its main rotor and tail rotor are identical to the latest Mi-28's also from Mil. The weight of the Mi-35 is also lower than that of its predecessors. The Mi-35 is equipped for night fighting, using laser range finder, thermal imager and TV.
And of course, a family photo of the Mi-35 and a Mi-24.
