History of the Mi-28A

The Mi-28A is the first serial variant of the famous Mi-28, designed by the Mil design bureau in the USSR, later Russia. The prototype’s maiden flight took place in 1982, and the Mi-28A version was developed primarily in the 1980s, eventually entering limited production at the end of the Cold War. Although extensive use of the Mi-28 began with the later “Mi-28N” version, this Zvezda model reproduces the early variant of this versatile attack helicopter, adapted for engaging armored targets, infantry support, and conducting operations in tough combat conditions.
