quote from 2007 - en.ria.ru too:

Mi-28N unexpectedly became more popular than the Ka-50. In December 2003, General Mikhailov said the Mi-28N will become Russia's main attack helicopter, and will be supplied to all helicopter units. Commenting on the future of Kamov helicopters, Mikhailov said Ka-50 models will only serve with special weapons and tactics (SWAT) units.

Yeah, yeah, more popular, duuh, it's cheaper to build and maintain, requires a lower classification for the mechs, can be used as a trainer and allows second and maybe third class pilots to fly it. (only first with the Ka-50). So cheaper pilots, mechs and acquisition costs, then the media is state controlled in Russia, so basically they can popularize whatever they want, be it the ka-50, mi-28 or a Mi-2.

It would be nice but Mi-28N is rather new and not all required data can be available...

Ka-50 is cool but still don't understand why ED wants release Ka-50, which are in few crafts, about to 19, which aren't efficient to the end in 100%. Frogfoot come back ;]

here is a news report on the KA-50

THX!

And from the same author a report of Mi-28N:

What a waste, I'd love to see Ka-50 in production instead. Howewer, "the best" doesn't always win as we see :)

If to talk about shots which serve our military aviation technique, if it is officers (officers and ensigns, soldier serve mainly office worker on an appeal - maksimum driver of machine or guard of the air field) they got that university education with the term of teaching from 5 to 6 years, as well as all of pilots of VVS of Russia!!! There were problems for pilots with the clock of raids, but now a situation is corrected thank heavens. In the Helicopter question, who to be on arming with MI-28 or KA-50, main problem in Lobby and in the vagueness of soldiery (that indeed needs them), two helicopters are while accepted therefore.

Syzranskoe higher military aviation uchilische of pilots (military institute) is the unique INSTITUTE of higher in Russian Federation engaged in preparation of soldiery pilots on the helicopters of Mi-2, Mi-8, Mi-24 for all of ministries and departments of Russian FEDERATION.http://www.svvaul.ru/
