The all-weather Mi-28N, a modified version of the Mi-28 Havoc attack helicopter, has been designed to perform hunter-killer missions against ground forces, helicopters and main battle tanks (MBTs).

The air force operates a total of 24 Mi-28s built at the Rostvertol plant in southern Russia.

The Russian defence ministry plans to procure around 45-67 Mi-28Ns to replace the existing fleet of Mi-24 Hind helicopters by 2015.
