Pilots flying the modernized version of Russia’s Mi-28N attack helicopters will receive a new helmet imaging and targeting system. The device was unveiled at the MAKS-2015 air expo on Saturday.

The new helmet imaging and targeting system was designed to display all the necessary visual information and for aiming at targets in any field of view.

The new invention is an integral element of the Mi-28NM – the younger brother of the Mi-28N. The improved Night Hunter is an all-weather gunship, capable of operating at any time of day or night. Russian engineers have been developing it since 2009. The helicopter is passing its final trials.

The Mi-28NM will boast a modern navigation and reconnaissance system. Its steering unit will provide for a blind landing.
