Kaktus29 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Do you think its possible to arm Mi-28 with Hellfire missiles? i ask because US is delivering Hellfire missiles to Iraq and Iraq has Mi-28 and Mi-35 gunships.. so assuming those hellfire missiles must be fired from somewhere (presumably helicopters) i would like to know is it possible to use them on Mi28.. Also did US sold any apache to Iraq? ..if so, then well, disregard my first question.. although i think there are no apache in Iraqi air force as far as i know..
taps Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Currently, AFAIK they use these planes to fire their hellfires: http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/ac-208-combat-caravan/
AlphaOneSix Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Hellfires to Iraq are for Iraqi Air Force armed Cessna Caravan, as pictured above.
Darkwolf Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 OMFG. Armed Cessna. So much awesomeness in a single picture [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
outlawal2 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 LOL.. Armed Cessna... What is next? An armed Dodge NEON? DOH! "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO
OutOnTheOP Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 In response to the OP: no. The Mi35 and Mi28 do not have the correct laser designator, capable of transmitting the correct PRF codes, to guide hellfire. Or more accurately, they could perhaps fire it, but without major modifications, could not guide it. Theoretically they could fire them at targets lased by other elements (ground-based designators, or the EO pods on those Cessnas), but why bother?
