Why the Mi-28 Havoc Failed 56% of Missions

Russia's Mi-28 Havoc was supposed to be the ultimate attack helicopter—more advanced, more lethal, and more survivable than the legendary Mi-24 Hind. With titanium armor, devastating firepower, and cutting-edge avionics, it promised to dominate 21st-century battlefields. Instead, it became one of military aviation's deadliest failures. This documentary exposes the shocking truth behind the Mi-28's catastrophic combat record: a 0% crew survival rate in crashes, five losses in Syria alone—all from mechanical failures, not enemy fire—and a loss rate four times higher than the 1970s-era helicopter it was designed to replace. Through combat data from Syria and Chechnya, crew testimonials, and technical analysis, we reveal: Why Russian pilots nicknamed it "Letayushchiy Grob" (Flying Coffin) The fatal design compromises that turned advanced armor into a death trap How a 15-year, multi-billion dollar development program produced a helicopter more dangerous to its own crews than to enemies Why export customers cancelled orders after witnessing its performance The systemic engineering failures that exposed Russia's military modernization crisis From the Caucasus mountains to Syrian deserts, the Mi-28 Havoc's story is a cautionary tale of how paper specifications collapse under battlefield reality—and how the newest technology isn't always the best. The Hind was supposed to be obsolete. Instead, it's still flying while its replacement rusts in hangar graveyards.
