Russian Helicopters holding company produced two Mi-35M
transport/attack helicopter for Mali under Rosoboronexport-related contract.
Aircraft and all property necessary for their operation is delivered to the
customer.
"Performance of the contract on Mi-35M delivery to
our Mali partners once again confirms that the holding company holds a leading
position in the world market of attack helicopters. I am sure that successful
implementation of this order will result in growing demand for Russian
helicopters in the region," said Russian Helicopters CEO Andrey Boginsky.
"I am confident that the helicopters we delivered
will help Mali to protect its sovereignty and fight against the universal
threat of terrorism. I also would like to mention that the supply of Russian
Mi-35M helicopters is another significant contribution to the development of
military and technical cooperation between our two countries, which in recent
years has demonstrated a good upward trend," said Rosoboronexport CEO
Alexander Mikheyev.
Mi-35M is the world's only universal attack helicopter,
which in addition to effective performance of fire missions is able to
transport up to 8 soldiers with weapons, up to 1,500 kg of ammunition or other
cargo inside the cabin, and up to 2400 kg of cargo on external sling; evacuate
those who are wounded; deliver technical staff to the autonomous deploying
sites.
The firepower of the Mi-35M is by 140% higher than that
of its main competitors in the market due to a significant mass of equipment
payload. Helicopter's unguided missile and missile-gun armament is 30% more
powerful than that of competitors, which allows it to carry out air support for
troops on the battlefield more effectively.
Due to the fact that the helicopter can be used in combat
24/7 in any weather conditions, it can perform combat tasks on aviation support
of ground forces accordingly.
The helicopter demonstrates impressive high-altitude
performance and is able to take off and land on concrete and ground sites
located at altitudes up to 4000 m above sea level. In addition, effective
design solutions used in Mi-35 allow to use this Russian helicopter in many
physiographic regions and climates, including in the mountains, at temperatures
from -50°C to +50°C, and humidity up to 98%.
