Russia orders Mi-28UB operational trainer helos

The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) has ordered 24 dual-control Mil Mi-28 'Havoc' attack helicopters to be delivered by the end of 2018, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on 24 April.

The contract for the 24 Mi-28UB 'Havoc-B' operational trainer aircraft forms part of a wider deal signed between the Russian Ministry of Defence and Russian Helicopters that also includes two Mi-26 'Halo' heavy-lift platforms. According to the announcement, these 24 Mi-28UBs represent the first production batch, though final numbers were not disclosed.

Having made its maiden flight in August 2013, the Mi-28UB is essentially identical to the frontline Mi-28N/NE (Night Stalker/Night Hunter) helicopter, but with dual-controls to enable the aircraft to be flown from either the front or rear cockpit. The rear cockpit canopy has also been expanded to improve visibility for an instructor or trainee pilot flying or overseeing training from the rear seat. Although billed as a trainer platform for the Mi-28N/NE, the Mi-28UB retains a combat capability.

Although final numbers have not been disclosed, it has been previously reported that the VKS is planning to procure 60 Mi-28UBs through to 2020. Once operational, the Mi-28UB will augment the Mi-28N/NE, Kamov Ka-52 'Hokum-B', and Mi-35 'Hind', as the VKS continues to withdraw its Soviet-era Mi-24 'Hind' helicopters from service.

The VKS has not said if it will upgrade its more than 100 existing Mi-28N helicopters to the dual-control Mi-28UB standard or retain them in their original configuration. According to Russian defence sources, Algeria and Iraq have ordered 42 and 19 dual-controlled Mi-28NEs respectively (the export version of the Mi-28UB).

Separately, Russian Helicopters is developing an upgraded variant of the Mi-28N, designated Mi-28NM ('M' stands for modernizirovanny [modernised]). It is said to be based on the Mi-28UB, and is equipped with enhanced jamming systems, new guided weapons, a new avionics suite, and probably provision for upgraded night vision goggles.

The duel use mil mi 28 is for Algeria not Iraq . Algeria is the only user , the Russians will add it later to their arsenal. I haven't seen anything to say that Iraq will get the duel use mil mi 28

Yes iraq is getting the dual control helos. The ones above are iraqi. The placement of national markings corresponds to iraqi not algerian or Russian helos.

In fact it seems that Iraq is getting 19 of these dual control models.

We will see them soon enough in Iraq anyway ;)

Hayder I don't know where you getting your info , Iraq bought 19 mil mi 28ne . Back in 2013-before the duel use helo came out . Now you are saying that we bought another 19 helo. With duel use? Who made the deal and when and for how much

No.

Iraq bought 15 mi28ne.

Of these 11 delivered.
The last 4 will be ub (in black see above).

In addition another 15 ub will be delivered as the second batch. Total of 19 ub.

According to Janes news above its clear Iraq bought 19 UB.

Algeria and Iraq have ordered 42 and 19 dual-controlled Mi-28NEs respectively (the export version of the Mi-28UB).
