Russia has delivered to Azerbaijan all of the 24 Mi-35M attack helicopters ordered three years ago, APA said.

The helicopters had been ordered by Azerbaijan’s State Border Service, according to the Baku-based news service. 

Mi-35M is a multi-role combat helicopter manufactured by Rostvertol, a subsidiary of Russian Helicopters. 

It is an export variant of Mi-24 Hindattack helicopter. Primarily designed for attack and military transport missions, the helicopter delivers superior flight performance and manoeuvrability than its predecessor.

The production of Mi-35M started in 2005. The aircraft integrates modern high-precision weaponry for destroying ground-based armoured targets and providing air support for ground missions. It can be modified as an attack, ground assault, medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) or transport platform.

The Mi-35M is one of the modern combat helicopters in the Russian Air Force inventory. It is also operated by the armed forces of Venezuela and Brazil.
