Mil Mi - 35M Hind - E The Mil Mi - 35M Hind - E is the most advanced version of the Mi - 24 , it is currently used by Brazil and Venezuela . Description . The reference Mi - 35 , together with the Mi - 25 was used to designate aircraft exported . The designation was already used before the end of the Soviet Union . But more recently , the new policy has led the manufacturer to recover the designation Mi - 35 to refer to the most modern helicopter . Therefore , the Mi - 35M is basically the modernized model Mi - 24V and is characterized by changes in weaponry , including the replacement of the rotating barrel 12 . 7 mm caliber machine gun by two 23mm guns ( already tried before , then without much success ) . It is also equivalent to the Mi - 24VM , which is a conversion kit offered by the factory Mil . The ' new ' model , like the Mi - 24V from which it derived , is characterized by an increase in engine power , which together amounted to 4 . 450 hp . The Mi - 24V / Mi - 35 can reach higher altitudes than previous Mi - 24D because of this modification . However there are some features that are specific to the Mi - 35 . Its main rotor and tail rotor are identical to the latest Mi - 28 ' s also from Mil . The weight of the Mi - 35 is also slightly lower than that of their predecessors . Like other modernized versions of the Mi - 35 is equipped for night fighting , featuring laser range finder , thermal imager and TV . Operators . Brazil . Brazil has acquired a batch of 12 aircraft Mi - 35M for operation by the Air Force . The helicopters will take part in surveillance operations in the Amazon , where its attack helicopter configuration with the ability to carry a battle group of eight men can be a tactical advantage in case of need . The Brazilian Mi - 35 is the most advanced version of the Hind family , a little more effective than its Venezuelan " brother " and Russian cousins . The Brazilian Mi - 35 will have the designation AH - 2 Sabre . Ii ' s not known exactly which systems will be installed in the Brazilian helicopters , but they should be almost equal to the Hinds sold to Venezuela , although there is a Brazilian manufacturer of rockets who provides systems that can be installed on the Mi - 35M Venezuela . Acquired by the government of Hugo Chávez for armed patrol along the border with Colombia , They are not operated by the air force , but by the army , where they are called Mi - 35 Piranha .
