The Mil Mi-35 is the modernized version of the well known attack/low capacity transport helicopter, the Mil Mi-24 "Hind".
The Mil Mi-35 (Super Hind) is the most advanced version of the famous Mi-24 series helicopters, developed by the South African Advanced Technologies and Engineering.
ATE's developments are focused on that the original Mi-24 deficiencies were in regards of night-combat capabilities, fire-power, reliability and troublesome and expensive logistics. This included a removal of most of obsolete, Soviet-made avionics — only the air data system, rate gyros and radar altimeter were retained. This resulted in weight reduction of more than 1,800 kilograms. The company made the Super Hind Mk.III user-friendly and maintainable even under most primitive conditions
New doppler radar, GPS-assisted navigational system, the ARINC Mil-Std 1553 data-bus, the Carl Zeiss Optronics Argos 410-Z airborne observation system turret, a dual-feed, hydraulically driven Vektor F2 chain turret with a 20-millimeter GIAT cannon and South African-made ZT-3 Ingwe anti-tank guided missiles were among the many installed upgrades.

As a fan of helicopters in general but especially with military variations I just had to nab this one. The modeling is fantastic first and foremost. Lots of attention to detail and just about every switch (which there are a great many) is clickable. However there is no info about what the switch is for that usually pops up when moused over. So lots of zooming and guessing. I cannot find any cabin views at all despite the merchant screen shots showing that there are internal cabin views. Also only the cockpits have working doors. Of the two cockpit exits only one works with Shift E. The other requires being clicked on from inside. Problem here though as clicking that same exit docent work to close it. So don’t open until you’re landed and not taking off again. I tried everything to close it and nothing worked. Shift E 2,3,4,5 etc don’t open or close anything. The wipers and fans work but I couldn’t turn off the wiper and the switch was definitely in Off position, yet they kept wiping anyway.
Flying this modernized Hind is actually really nice and smooth. Despite being lighter than older variants it’s still a heavy machine and takes time to slow. That and being a bit less responsive than say even a Sea Stallion should be expected. It’s fun to fly.
There is a highly detailed manual available which will need to be studied a bit in order to understand what the switches all do or don’t do. However nothing in the manual about how to close that stubborn cockpit exit.
All in all I’m still glad I bought this despite the strange idiosyncrasies. 4/5 stars
