These advanced helicopters are still being used against Daesh and Al-Nusra Front terrorists in Syria despite the withdrawal of a Russian Aerospace Forces unit.
The 17-second YouTube video demonstrates the Mi-28N firing a guided antitank missile to obliterate what appears to be a moving terrorist off-road vehicle. One can even hear the helicopters' crewmembers talking to each other.
"Carefully, carefully…I'm still holding the target…well done!" one of the crewmembers exclaims, commenting on the destruction of the vehicle.

On March 31, the Russian Defense Ministry released footage of the Mi-28N destroying terrorists' armored vehicles near the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra.

The Mi-28N "Night Hunter" helicopters were deployed Syria in early 2016. Shortly after the announcement of the pullout of the Russian Aerospace Forces group, these helicopters added to the Syrian Army's operation to liberate Palmyra from terrorists.
