I would like an update on the latest Soviet combat helicopters.
The Mi-28 Havoc was seen in Paris, impressive and well-flying. Has it become      operational? In what numbers? What about development of add-ons as FLIR etc.
The design of the Ka-34 Hokum seems interesting. Has it got beyond the drawing
board?
 What are the pros and cons of the counter-rotating main rotor & no tail rotor
principle?
 In connection with these choppers, I have read about IR-jammers. How do these    work? I find the name a little strange, as I associate jamming with radio-
frequencies only...
