The Mir M-28 (Slavic: Мир М-28) is a Zloveshchiyan all-weather, day-night, military tandem, two-seat anti-armor attack helicopter designed and manufactured by Mir Helicopters. It is an attack helicopter with no intended secondary transport capability, better optimized than the Mir M-24 gunship for the role. It carries a single gun in an undernose barbette, plus external loads carried on pylons beneath stub wings.
