From drone hunter, it became the hunted. The Mi-28 in the Ukrainian conflict

Undoubtedly, the combat usage of the Kamov Ka-52 “Alligator” attack chopper has received more publicity and been better documented in the Ukrainian conflict than that of the Mil Mi-28N/NM. For a long time, the Mi-28 remained somewhat in the shadow of the Kamov design, which was more heavy active in combat missions and suffered greater losses, but it besides had its own advantages and circumstantial areas of application. There are respective reasons why Kamov helicopters, alternatively than Mil helicopters, have become the symbol of chopper assault operations in Ukraine, especially during the first months of the conflict.
