[Video] “Maximum range 500km”… Russian Mi-28NM helicopter cruise missile launch video released

Russia has released a video showing a small cruise missile with a maximum range of 500 km being launched from a state-of-the-art Mi-28NM attack helicopter.

On the 7th (local time), the Russian Ministry of Defense released a video of a Mi-28NM helicopter missile launch titled ‘Helicopter operation view’ on its Telegram channel.

The released video shows a Mi-28NM helicopter used in an offensive operation in Ukraine taking off and firing with a missile mounted on a pod under the wing.

“Mi-28NM helicopter crews carried out single-T loitering missile attacks on enemy unmanned aerial vehicles and control points,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.

According to military media such as The War Zone and United 24 Media, this is an example of the Russian Ministry of Defense operating the latest Dan-T cruise missile.

Dan-T is a 'practical self-destruct cruise missile' that removes the parachute and radar reflector from the aerial target drone (Dan-M), an unmanned training aircraft, and installs a warhead and guidance device.

According to the media, analysts estimate that the Dan-T has a maximum range of about 500 km and a warhead weight of 135 kg. Take a look at the video.
