The proposed deal will be the second export sale to Algeria, which already operates the Mi-25, an export derivative of the Russian forces Mi-24 attack helicopter, according to RIA Novosti.
The Mi-28NE is a two-seat attack helicopter, equipped with mast-mounted millimetre-wave fire control radar, advanced night vision optical systems and the Ataka anti-armour missile system.
