'Official Propaganda Keeping Silent Regarding Number Of Interesting Details'

On what's wrong with the Mi-35s that the regime has received from the Russian Federation.

Lukashist media trumpet the delivery of four Russian Mi-35 transport and combat helicopters to Belarus. However, a Charter97.org reader draws attention to important details:

- The regime lacks money to solve issues in the communal and social sectors, but it does not skimp on weapons. As of today, such a helicopter costs from $25 to $35 million. But there are a number of interesting points, which the official propaganda is silent about.

Lukashenka made a request for these helicopters back in 2020, but received them by a residual principle. There are serious problems with the maintenance of the Mi-35. Brazil is replacing them with Turkish T-129 ATAK because of this.

This model shows quite high losses during combat operations. Since 2014, more than ten of these machines have been lost in Syria and Iraq. After February 2022, the defenders of Ukraine destroyed several dozen Mi-35s. The percentage of losses of this model is the highest among all those used by the Russian security forces.
