Russian state-of-the-art Kamov Ka-52 Alligator and Mil Mi-28N Night Hunter attack helicopters could be clearly seen on video reportedly filmed by Syrian TV crews in the vicinity of the Hmeymim airbase which serves as the primary base of operations for Russian Aerospace Forces elements deployed in Syria. [link to sputniknews.com] Yep, that looks like 2 Mil 28's and a KA 52 to be sure. Everybody has been wanting to see just how all that enhanced survival and maneuverability holds up in the shit, I suspect it will not disappoint. I would not want to be a terrorist on the ground or an American in a AH-1 or AH-64. Assuming they are not countered by another modern airforce, and just fighting snackbarians with MANPADS, the Russians should be able to hold down the entire country with just what was shown. |
