Every part of the helicopter cannot survive 12.7mm. That is an outright lie.

Let’s see some Boeing videos comparable to the Mi-28 cockpit testing. They even had a guy inside, I guess they felt secure in the strength of the armor.

Brahmos Aerospace orderbook stands at $5 billion, all from Indian armed forces. This almost equates to 1800+ missiles. Source
(Assumption: unit price= $2.7 million; Source: price mentioned on various internet websites)

Wow nice. Most of the inventory going to be in the army?

The T-90 comparison was conducted by Indian army which found it inferior in man aspects to the Arjun MBT, the Indian Army was always agaisnt the Arjun MBT and preffered the T 90 so it must be true. And i give the army trials more credibility than forumers here or in MP.net (who’s word would you take a Russian/German former Tank man or the Indian Army)

Don’t want to get into this again, but no other nation has had issues with T-90 accuracy. It is operated in many desert countries. In comparitive trials in the middle east it has repeatedly shown excellent ability.

So, either Indian crews are incompetent, Indian ammunition makers are low quality, or it is misreported bull**** with an agenda.

I don’t really care what others believe, I know what I think.

RIP, great boxer. I respect the man far more than Ali.

what makes you so sure the armor on the Apache is worse?

for others who are interested in that article

Because it is worse? The whole Apache glass area is completely unarmored, while in the Mi-28 the situation is quite different (there is video of the armoring glass testing).

I don’t find the Apache winning to be shocking, like I’ve said before the Mi-28 has a bunch of systems still finishing/gestating, but something like armor? Yeah right. I find the high altitude and maneuverability claims to be suspect as well. I would just like to see firm data, not media speculation. That is all.

Maybe I am just suspicious because media reports of Indian defense matters have been….deceptive what feels like 90% of the time. And not just Indian to be fair.

Some guy asking not to be named stating a bunch of vague performance comparisons, lol, well, not the most reliable of info. I recall when “some unnamed defense people” made some very interesting claims about T-90 gun accuracy as well. But that is another story.
