to an untrained eye like mine the Russian helicopter’s statistics look better. Why didn’t they choose that? is it the reliability of the Apache? Or that the Apache has been proven in battle?
Well those figures are from a Russian website!! Anyway, the Apache has been in service for longer and has a lot more upgrades as far as sensors and networking capabilities goes. The Mi-28 is at about the start of its career (though it’s been around for a long time) and has had little enthusiastic domestic or international support.
