That the Armed Forces of Belarus received new Mi-8MTV 5-1 helicopters.
The transfer of six Mi-8MTV-5 helicopters took place in September this year. The vehicles were placed at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus. The delivered helicopters are the first batch under the contract for the supply of twelve Mi-8MTV-5 military helicopters, which was signed by representatives of the Russian Helicopters holding during the Army-2015 International Military-Technical Forum. The transfer of the next batch of six cars is scheduled for 2017.
The means of combat survivability include: armored protection of the cockpit and vital systems, screen-exhaust devices for engines that reduce infrared radiation, protection and polyurethane foam protection of fuel tanks, a fire protection system, duplication and redundancy of sources of hydro and power supply and main control circuits.

Mi-8 (V-8, product "80", according to NATO: Mi-8Hip- “thigh”) - a Soviet / Russian multi-purpose helicopter created by the Design Bureau named after M. L. Mil in the early 1960s. This machine is the most massive twin-engine helicopter in the world, and is also included in the list of the most massive helicopters in history. It is widely used in many countries of the world for most civil and military tasks.
Story
The first B-8 prototype took off on July 9, 1961; the second prototype of the B-8A - September 17, 1962. After a number of improvements, the Mi-8 was adopted by the Soviet Air Force in 1967 and proved to be such a successful machine that purchases of the Mi-8 for the Russian Air Force continue in our time. Mi-8 is operated in more than 50 countries, including India, China and Iran.
The modernization of the Mi-8 helicopter, which ended in 1980, led to the creation of an improved version of this machine - the Mi-8MT (product "88", which received the designation Mi-17 when exported), which is distinguished by an improved power plant (2 TV3- 117), as well as the presence of an auxiliary power unit. Mi-17 is not so widespread and is used in about 20 countries around the world.
In 1991, the production of a new civil transport modification Mi-8AMT (the export version is called Mi-171E) started, and in the late 1990s, the military transport and assault modification Mi-8AMTSh (Mi-171Sh).
In 2014, the 3500th helicopter of the Mi-17 family was delivered to the customer.
Design
A single-rotor helicopter with a 5-bladed main rotor and a 3-bladed tail rotor. The attachment of the main rotor blades is hinged (vertical, horizontal and axial hinges), and the tail rotor blades are combined (horizontal and axial), cardan type. The transmission of the Mi-8 helicopter is the same as that of the Mi-4 helicopter. The main rotor blades are all-metal, consist of a hollow spar, pressed from aluminum alloy, to the rear edge of which 24 compartments are glued (on some versions 23) with a honeycomb core made of aluminum foil forming a profile. All main rotor blades are equipped with pneumatic spar damage alarm. Mi-8 is equipped with an electric anti-icing system of blades, which operates in both automatic and manual modes, and is powered by AC voltage 208 volts. If one of the engines fails in flight, the other engine automatically switches to increased power, while level flight is performed without lowering the altitude. In the main mode, the main rotor rotates at a speed of 192 min-1, the tail rotor - 1445 min-1. The helicopter control system uses hydraulic boosters - three KAU-30B (combined control unit) to control the main rotor and one RA-60B (steering unit) to control the tail rotor.
The landing gear is tricycle, non-retractable, with a self-orienting front strut in flight. To prevent the tail rotor from touching the ground, there is a tail support. The helicopter's external suspension system makes it possible to carry cargo weighing up to 3 tons. The Mi-8 is equipped with a four-channel autopilot AP-34, which provides roll, pitch and direction stabilization, as well as flight altitude (+...-50m). In the passenger version, up to 18 seats can be installed in the helicopter cabin, in the transport version it is equipped with folding benches for 24 seats. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the cockpit and cargo compartment, the helicopter is equipped with a heating system, a KO-50 kerosene heater, and ventilation are used. Navigation and flight instruments and radio equipment in all modifications of the helicopter make it possible to fly at any time of the day in any weather.
Helicopters of different modifications differ very significantly in the composition of the equipment. Early helicopters (Mi-8, Mi-8T) are equipped with two TV2-117 engines with a capacity of 1500 hp, with a 10-stage compressor and start from a GS-18TO starter-generator installed on each engine. When starting the first engine, its starter-generator is powered by six on-board batteries 12CAM28 (starter aviation monoblock with a capacity of 28 Ah) with a voltage of 24 V, the second engine - from the starter-generator of an already running engine, and three batteries. When the GS-18TO engines are running, a voltage of 27 volts is supplied to the main power supply system. Four batteries are installed in the cockpit under the shelves of electrical and radio equipment, two on each side, the remaining two are behind the pilot's cabin in the cargo compartment, in the passenger version in the rear part behind the cabin partition. Despite the relatively small capacity, they are able to provide 5 engine starts in a row on the ground and in the air at altitudes up to 3 km, while they give off a current of 600-800 amperes, when the engines are running, they are charged from DC generators and automatically turn off when the rated capacity is reached or turn on. in the event of a voltage drop in the on-board network (in case of generator failure) using differential-minimum relays DMR-600T, generator operation control system.
A three-phase voltage of 36 V for powering gyroscopic instruments is supplied by one of two PT-500Ts converters (main or backup), a single-phase current of 208 V with a frequency of 400 Hz to power the heating elements of propellers and windshields - an SGO-30U generator installed on the main gearbox. Also from SGO-30U through a single-phase transformer TS / 1-2, which supplies radio and navigation equipment, and from it - a transformer Tr-115/36, which supplies engine and transmission control devices with a single-phase voltage of 36 V, and through a transformer 115 / 7.5 - power supply for the contour lights of the main rotor. If SGO-30U fails, the blade heating elements are switched off, the rest of the equipment automatically switches to power supply from the PO-750A converter.
Later series helicopters (Mi-8MT, Mi-17, etc.) have been significantly upgraded. The engines were replaced with more powerful (2250 hp) TV3-117 with a 12-stage compressor and air start, an AI-9V APU was installed to supply air to the engine air starters, the starter-generator STG-3 of which, when the APU is running, can supply voltage 27 volt power of 3 kW for 30 minutes. The main power supply system with a voltage of 208 V and a frequency of 400 Hz is powered by two SGS-40PU generators located on the main gearbox. In the 27 V system, two 12SAM-28 batteries are installed to start the APU and emergency power, and three VU-6A rectifiers are installed for the main power when the engines are running. VU No. 1, propeller heating elements and transformer TS310S04B (power 1 kW) are fed from the first generator to power a three-phase 36 V network, from the right generator - VU No. 2 and No. 3, glass heating and dust protection device (PZU) of engines, transformer TS / 1 -2.
If generator No. 1 fails, TS310S04B automatically switches to generator No. 2; if both generators or the transformer itself fails, the PT-200Ts converter starts. If generator No. 2 fails, TS/1-2 switches to generator No. 1; if both generators or the transformer itself fails, the PO-500A converter starts up. Also, if generator No. 2 fails, VU-6A No. 3 switches to generator No. 1.
The helicopter has two hydraulic systems - the main and backup, the pressure in each is created by a separate pump NSh-39M, installed on the main gearbox. Pressure is regulated within 45+-3 ... 65+8-2 kgf/sq.cm. GA-77V automatic pump unloaders, supported by hydraulic accumulators - two in the main system and one in the backup. The hydraulic supply of consumers - RA-60B tail rotor control, KAU-30B common rotor pitch, two KAU-30B longitudinal and transverse controls, a movable stop in the tail rotor control system and the friction clutch of the Step-Gas handle - is switched on by separate electromagnetic cranes GA192.

The next important stage in the modernization of the Mi-8 was the equipping of it with TV3-117VM high-altitude engines, the first samples of which were tested in 1985. For two years, the Mil Design Bureau created a new basic model Mi-8MTV (Mi-17-1V in the export version), capable of taking off and landing at altitudes up to 4000 m and flying at altitudes up to 6000 m. In addition to ceilings, climb rate, range, etc. .d. The new basic model was distinguished by modern equipment, including a weather radar station and a long-range navigation radio station, had armor, sealed tanks with polyurethane foam filler, bow and stern PKT machine guns, six hanging beam holders and pivot mounts for paratroopers' weapons.
Taking into account the “Afghan” experience, the survivability of parts and assemblies of the helicopter was increased, and for the safety of operation, an emergency splashdown system developed jointly with French companies was installed on the Mi-8MTV. Since 1988, the development of mass production of the Mi-8MTV (Mi-8MTV-1) in Kazan began. base model can be used in transport, airborne, air assault, ambulance, ferry versions, as well as in versions of a fire support helicopter and a minelayer.
At the plant in Ulan-Ude, the Mi-8MTV went into production in 1991 with minor changes in equipment under the designation Mi-8AMT (export code - Mi-171). Ulan-Ude helicopter builders have already built several hundred of these machines. In 1997, the Mi-171 in Russia received a type certificate, and two years later - a type certificate in China according to the American FAR-29 standards in passenger and cargo versions for flying over land and water.
Following the Mi-8MTV-1 in the 1990s, the Kazan plant was followed by the basic modifications of the Mi-8MTV-2 and Mi-8MTV-3. Up to 30 paratroopers were placed in their cockpit. These vehicles had reinforced armor and upgraded systems. On the Mi-8MTV-3, out of six beam holders, only four remained, but the number options armament suspension increased from 8 to 24. Helicopters received a tail rotor with an increased chord of blades and increased rigidity of control wiring, a parachuteless landing system and an onboard boom with a larger carrying capacity.
Mi-8MTV-3 in 1991 served as a prototype for the export modification of the Mi-172, which was certified in 1994 by the Indian aviation register according to the American FAR-29 standards. All the improvements tested on these modifications were introduced in 1992 on the new Mi-17M demonstration model. In addition, an international navigation system and an improved radar were installed on it, the side doors were enlarged, and the rear cargo hatch was redesigned according to the Mi-26 type (with reduced doors and a descending ramp). A large hatch in the floor made it possible to install an external suspension system with a load capacity of 5 tons.
This demonstration model served as the basis for the creation of the Mi-8MTV-5 (Mi-17MD) in 1997, which is very successful in the international aviation market. Under an agreement with a Canadian company, Kazan helicopter builders are also working on a joint modification of the Mi-17KF. In 1998, modified versions of the Mi-171 and Mi-172 received a domestic type certificate according to the American FAR-29 standards. They were assigned the designations Mi-171A and Mi-172A.
After the collapse of the USSR, the Mi-8 crews continue to perform their difficult military duty in the hot spots of Russia and the CIS. "Eights" were widely used during the conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia and Tajikistan. The unique high-altitude characteristics of the Mi-8MTV made them indispensable in high-altitude areas. Only they can provide combat operations at altitudes above 3500-4000 m.
They were widely used during counterterrorist operations in Chechnya. In 1995, several Mi-8 squadrons operated here, which were used primarily for the transfer of personnel, their replacement in positions, the supply of ammunition and food, the removal of the wounded and sick, as well as the evacuation of refugees and the provision of comprehensive humanitarian assistance to the population.

Helicopter Mi-8 MTV1
Flight-technical characteristics
Mi-8 MTV-1 ( modernized transport) - a multi-purpose helicopter of the middle class, developed in OKB M. L . Mile, modernized version of the Mi-8 helicopter.
Development of the Mi-8 helicopter project with increased engine power and carrying capacity started at the OKB M.L. Mile in 1964. Summer 1975 modernized the helicopter was built, and on August 17 it was first lifted into the air.
Flight tests have shown a significant improvement in flight performance, especially the ceiling and rate of climb. The helicopter adopted for service was named Mi-8 MTV-1 and since 1977 went into serial production at the Kazan Helicopter Plant. Starting next year, it was built with TVZ-117VM series III engines.
In 1981 Mi-8 MTV-1 for the first time demonstrated at an aviation exhibition in Paris. For advertising and commercial reasons, he was given the name Mi-17.
The Mi-8 MTV-1 helicopter is made according to a single-rotor scheme with a tail rotor, two gas turbine engines (GTE) and a tricycle landing gear. Fixed landing gear, with self-oriented fixed in flight by the front strut. A tail prop is installed to protect the tail rotor.
Mi -8 MTV-1 (Mi -17) repeats the layout of the Mi -8 helicopter, however, the design of a large number of units and parts has undergone a significant change. The design used technical solutions, a number of assemblies and systems developed for the Mi-14 and Mi-18. Compared to the Mi-8, the shape of the engine hoods has been changed, air intakes dust protection devices installed. Exhaust nozzles of oval engines. Behind the main gearbox is located auxiliary power point , destined to supply compressed air to air systems for starting the main engines. Auxiliary the power plant can also feed the on-board network with direct current on the ground, and in the event of a failure of the main sources electricity supply- and in the air. For emergency escape of the helicopter, an opening with a cover was made in the right wing of the cargo hatch, and a hatch-window was installed on the starboard side.
All-metal the main rotor blades are equipped with a spar damage alarm. The main and tail rotor blades are equipped with electro-thermal anti-icing system. The Mi-8 MTV-1 was equipped with a tail rotor with an increased chord, the dimensions of the fuel tanks were increased, reinforced armor was installed, and the rigidity of the control wiring was increased.
The basic model Mi-8 MTV-1 served as the basis for the creation of numerous modifications. The airborne transport modification of the Mi-8 MTV-1 is designed for landing and evacuation of troops, fire support for ground forces, targeted bombing, transportation of goods inside the cabin and on an external sling, as well as for the transportation of paratroopers. There are 24 folding seats in the cargo compartment.
A family of helicopters has been created - suppliers of interference, search and rescue Mi-8 MTB, Mi-8 MTD, Arctic rescue Mi-8 MA. Helicopter command posts Mi-19 and Mi-19R have been created for the commanders of tank and missile divisions.

The next important stage in the modernization of the Mi-8 was equipping it with high-altitude TVZ-117VM engines, the first samples of which were tested in 1985. For two bastards, the Mil Design Bureau created a new basic model Mi-8MTV (Mi-17-1V in the export version), capable of taking off and landing at altitudes up to 4000 m and flying at altitudes up to 6000 m. In addition to ceilings, climb rate, range, etc. The new basic model was distinguished by modern equipment, including a meteorological radar station and a long-range navigation radio station, had armor, sealed tanks with polyurethane foam filler, bow and stern PKT machine guns, six hanging beam holders and pivot mounts for paratroopers' weapons.
Taking into account the "Afghan" experience, the survivability of parts and assemblies of the helicopter was increased, and for the safety of operation, an emergency splashdown system developed jointly with French companies was installed on the Mi-8MTV. Since 1988, the development of serial production of the Mi-8MTV (Mi-8MTV-1) began in Kazan. The basic model can be used in transport, airborne, air assault, ambulance, ferry versions, as well as in fire support helicopter and mine laying versions.
At the plant in Ulan-Ude, the Mi-8MTV went into production in 1991 with minor changes in equipment under the designation Mi-8AMT (export code - Mi-171). Ulan-Ude helicopter builders have already built several hundred of these machines. In 1997, the Mi-171 received a type certificate in Russia, and two years later - a type certificate in China according to the American FAR-29 standards in passenger and cargo versions for flying over land and water.
Following the Mi-8MTV-1 in the 1990s, the Kazan plant was followed by the basic modifications of the Mi-8MTV-2 and Mi-8MTV-3. Up to 30 paratroopers were placed in their cockpit. These vehicles had reinforced armor and upgraded systems. On the Mi-8MTV-3, only four of the six beam holders remained, but at the same time, the number of possible armament suspension options increased from 8 to 24. The helicopters received a tail rotor with an increased blade chord and increased rigidity of the control wiring, a parachute landing system and an onboard boom with a larger carrying capacity .
Mi-8MTV-3 in 1991 served as a prototype for the export modification of the Mi-172, which was certified in 1994 by the Indian aviation register according to the American FAR-29 standards. All the improvements tested on these modifications were introduced in 1992 on the new Mi-17M demonstration model. In addition, an international navigation system and an improved radar were installed on it, the side doors were enlarged, and the rear cargo hatch was redesigned according to the Mi-26 type (with reduced doors and a descending ramp). A large hatch in the floor made it possible to install an external suspension system with a load capacity of 5 tons.
This demonstration model served as the basis for the creation in 1997 of the Mi-8MTV-5 (Mi-17MD), which is very successful in the international aviation market. Under an agreement with a Canadian company, Kazan helicopter builders are also working on a joint modification of the Mi-17KF. In 1998, modified versions of the Mi-171 and Mi-172 received a domestic type certificate according to the American FAR-29 standards. They were assigned the designations Mi-171A and Mi-172A.
