Iraq's Ministry of Defence (MoD) released a video on 30 August confirming that it has received some of the Mil Mi-28NE Night Hunter attack helicopters it ordered from Russia in 2012. The footage showed Russian technicians helping to prepare three Mi-28s in a hangar. An Iraqi officer said the new helicopters were much-needed assets that were capable of supporting ground forces and carrying out attacks by day or night. The helicopters shown did not have their stub wings or rotor blades fitted, suggesting they had been recently delivered. It was announced in October 2012 that Iraq had ordered over 40 Mi-28NE and Mi-35M helicopters, but the precise numbers involved were not revealed.
