MIL Mi-28 HAVOC

The Mil Mi-28 is an anti-armour and anti-air combat helicopter with a crew of two and space for an observer.  The pilot and gunner are situated tandem-fashion in the helicopter's streamlined nose.  A distinctive 30 mm cannon is attached underneath the front of the fuselage and large weapon wings are attached to either side of the fuselage.  These wings also give the helicopter increased lift during level flight.  The Havoc was designed by the Soviet military to fulfil the same battlefield role as the U.S. Army's AH-64 Apache.
