APA new generation of helicopters nicknamed mantis, is a medium-to-ground attack helicopters.
The basic weapons for the next four wing mount points, two 25MM rapid-fire cannon. Two-seat cockpit, a pilot and a weapons officer manipulation.
Design History
Prototype "Mantis" This project is the new millennium began research and development project, including the famous fighters, including MiG 1.44 Sino-Russian strategic partnership of military cooperation projects. Under the terms of Shanghai Alliance Organization (SAO), and Russia and the Central Asian countries have preferential access to the machine.
But did not last long, the first global war on terror slowed the development of new weapons, speed, lack of progress in the war four years project that PLA Naval Air Force of the Army Air Corps had to Ka-25/27 "snail" anti-submarine helicopter transport converted into a gunship put into use.
After the war, Russia decided to increase the intensity of the development of advanced armed helicopter program. The project ultimately by Kamov, Mil Design Bureau and Changhe Aircraft Industry Corporation and Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation jointly responsible for research and development. Karimov used their classic coaxial contra-rotating propeller, so that no tail rotor design as possible. China in particular is receiving technical support from Eurocopter, including avionics systems and human-computer interaction (which is its cockpit and "Tiger" helicopter so similar reasons)
Production and equipment
Advanced helicopters in 2016 finally put into mass production project in Russia given nickname is "mantis" and sold under license to third countries Jieke Russia, especially the BRIC countries. Russia and Moscow Arseniev production; China is Harbin, Jiangxi Jingdezhen.
