The Mil Mi-28 "Havoc" is one of two standardized attack helicopters fielded by Russian forces (the other being the Ka-52 "Alligator"). Development on the Mi-28 was slow in the 1970s with production not beginning until 1982 and official series introduction not had until 2009 through the Mi-28N variant. Today, the helicopter is fielded by only two other powers beyond Russia, these being Algeria and the rebuilding Iraqi Army. As such, only 126 of the type have been completed but the design stands as one of the more fearsome armor-defeating platforms in service - capable of tackling all known armor protection types. As such, the Mi-28 series figures centrally in Russian military plans moving forward.
