First Test Flight of Mi-28 Helicopters in West Tehran, Likely to Be Delivered to the Army

View on Telegram

West Tehran witnessed today the first test flight of Mi-28 attack helicopters. A decision is expected soon regarding which branch will receive them. Indicators suggest they will likely be assigned to the army, given the aging state of its combat helicopter fleet and the urgent need to strengthen its offensive capabilities—ensuring a measure of military balance with the Revolutionary Guard.

This comes at a time when the Revolutionary Guard enjoys clear superiority in missiles, drones, and artillery. Supporting the army’s capabilities, particularly in its aviation wing (Havanirooz), is seen as a necessary step to achieve relative equilibrium between the two forces.
