The Mil Mi-28, NATO reporting name Havoc, is a Russian attack helicopter developed to work as an air-to-air and air-to-ground partner for the Mi-24 Hind and the Ka-50 Hokum. Its design followed the experience of the Mi-24, the so-called helicopter soldier. The project began in 1972 but was delayed until 1981 because Mil's initial proposal was not accepted, and the first prototype made its inaugural flight on 10 November 1982. Two turboshaft engines in pods are mounted alongside the top of the fuselage with downturned exhausts, and GlobalSecurity.org describes its performance as comparable to the American Apache. The Kamov Ka-50 was chosen in 1984 as the anti-tank helicopter, which seriously compromised the Mil project and led to the cancellation of production of the original Mi-28 in 1993, but the type was later revived and developed further.
