They Will Teach Pilots to Fly on Night Helicopters

Five upgraded Mi-24PN helicopters from Rostov-on-Don will join the Torzhok training center. According to a report of the chief of the Center for Army Aviation Combat Application and Cross Training of Air Crew, General-Major Evgeniy Ignatov, helicopter pilots have to undergo training on the new aircraft which are equipped with special improved navigational equipment that allows carrying on combat actions at night. As “Tverskaya Zhizn’” reports, the upgraded Mi-24PN also have new armament, and they will issue night vision goggles to the pilots with which the cockpit lighting system also has been reequipped.

Looks like the five are joining the first two aircraft that were ‘probably’ (according to Jane’s) delivered to Torzhok in 2002- though it’s possible these aircraft were used for something else.
