First photos of the new Russian helicopter NV.17 revealed.

In 2027, Russia plans to make the first flight of the new helicopter NV.17. According to Russian media, the technical design of the aircraft is almost complete.

The NV.17 helicopter will belong to the medium class and will have "modern avionics". It can be used for transporting cargo, passengers, and providing fire support.

It is also known that the NV.17 will be equipped with a "hybrid power plant" and a combined control system. The fuel reserve will allow the helicopter to stay in the air for up to seven hours and cover a distance in about seven minutes.

Recently, the Russian army received a new batch of armored vehicles from the Streit Group, a company from the UAE. This was reported by the military-technical portal Defense Blog, referring to videos that were published on social media.

It is known that Russian forces have started to withdraw the BRDM-2 armored vehicles from their depots. This indicates that there is a shortage of armored vehicles among the militants on the front line.
