After
quite a long separation of the superiority of defense equipment from
Russia, now Puspenerbad (Army Aviation Center) can return with its chest
puffed helicopters Mi-17-V5. A medium transport helicopter that has a payload capacity is much larger than the arsenal heli Penerbad far dominated US-made.
Basically appropriate existing code, Mi-17-V5 Squadron 31 is a fifth generation subvarian development. Characteristics of this heli feels of gray paint color to the cabin that can accommodate 30 fully armed personnel. Seating personnel attached to both sides of the passenger cabin (a position facing each other). When used as a helicopter ambulance, the cabin can be 12 right folding bed and a bench for medical personnel.
Referring to his unit, Squadron 31, Strike Puspenerbad officially established on March 23, 2006 and is headquartered in Lanumad Ahmad Yani Semarang - Central Java. At that time the power is still composed of a pair of attack helicopters Mi-35P Hind. Current composition Attack Squadron 31 was in complete category, consisting of 5 attack helicopters Mi-35P and 12 tactical transport helicopter Mi-17-V5. All fleet of helicopters in the squadron is the design of Mil Moscow Helicopter design bureau, while for the manufacturer is the Kazan Helicopter.
Mi-17 is equipped with three doors as an exit access facilities rmasuk. Each contained a door on the right and left. Furthermore there is a door in the back of rampa (ramp door), not the door shell models. In the military environment, currently only Mi-17, which has a ramp door, ramp door generally exist in transport aircraft, such as the Hercules C-130 and CN-235. As for the door shell models (clamshell) is now used by the BO-105 light helicopters and transport helicopters Mi-looking old days 4 Hound. For a moment back to the past, in the 60s the Air Force never operated heavy transport helicopters Mil Mi-6, and heli ramp door is also equipped with a larger size.
Back passenger cabin, two machine guns scattered cradle at four points (window). Pair near the front door (right - left), of the observation time Alutsista Army exhibition event in Monas, last November 2013, looks kind of weapon is the FN MAG 7.62 mm caliber. As for the types of weapons behind him (left and right) is of type SS-1 caliber 5.56 mm. Presence at the two types of machine guns was berifat portable, its function is more emphasized as a limited fire support.
In addition to the gun holder, on the right side and left the middle of the cabin can be spotted hole pipe connections. This is not another facility for four spare fuel canisters that can be installed in place of troop seats. Each tube has a capacity of about 975 liters. In standard conditions per unit Mi-17 is equipped with a pair of fuel tanks on the right and left outer body with a capacity of 1000 liters each. When the entire payload capability combined fuel was then technically helicopters can fly ferry for 6 hours non-stop.
Beranjut to the matter of the operation, there is the distinctive character of the Russian helicopters, for example, to turn on the machines, because the exhaust hole lead laterally then the machine activation process should be done with attention to the wind direction. When the wind from the right direction then must turn left engine first. Similar properties apply when the helicopter started to move into the air. Related effects of propeller rotation, the rotation is clockwise there is a tendency to make the body tilted to the right, not the left like a western-made helicopters.
For business energy sources, Mi-17, equipped with a pair of turboshaft engines TV3-117VMA Isotov, every engine capable of spraying power up to 2,200 shp. Specs on Mi-17adalah engine with attack helicopters Mi-35P, Mi-35P is the difference in energy of the heavy weaponry used to carry it on the Mi-17 large power is used to carry the load. Because it has a similar engine specs, then for engine maintenance between Mi-17 and Mi-35P no difference.
When visiting in its history, the Mi-17 was developed from the base airframe variant Mi-8 helicopters. There are at least two major differences that can be caught. The most striking of the physical aspect found on the rear rotor. Position for the Mi-8 is on the right, while the Mi-17 on the left. For the engine, power is ejected Mi-17 is greater than the Mi-8. For additional information, among the Russian military Mi-17 code is not so popular. They prefer to call it Mi-8M. In the past two decades, multipurpose transport helicopter market is rampant. Each year there are at least 100 units of multi-purpose helicopters that were sold to many countries. But the kind that really dominate the market did not amount to much.
Russia is famous as a manufacturer of top-class heli for medium and heavy transport. Names such as Mi-4 Hound, Mi-6 Hook, and Mi-8 Hip was the belle of many armed forces in the world. From a list of names before, Mi-8 is the most popular. The idea of making his own Mi-8 because the Soviet Union was rivaled by the presence of Sea King helicopters, the Mi-4 was then considered to be no longer in accordance with operational needs. With base and Mi-6 transport helicopter Mi-24 Hind attack, creating multipurpose transport helicopter Mi-8. Through continued development, then generated as the Mi-17 export version. Dozens of countries, not just Russia's ally adopt this heli, even the Mi-17 helicopter believed to be the mainstay of the UN mission (United Nations) in carrying out the task of conflict and disaster-prone region.
Although an export variant of the Mi-8 and had an almost similar design structure. But when viewed from the side both have different performance, is evident from the type of engine, body dimensions, total weight at take-off, and operational knerja sharing. Total length of the Mi-8 from the end of the main propeller blades (while spinning) to the tip of the tail reaches 25.24 meters, while the Mi-17 reached 25.35 meters.
Mi-17 body weight while staying normal is 11.1 tons, while its maximum takeoff weight is 13 tons. Of the load 13 tons, to transport capacity in the cab and reached 4.07 ton payload capacity outside cabin (like carrying rocket / bomb / missile / cannon or cargo sling) can reach a size of 5 tons. Although nature is the heli transport, but from the manufacturer has been offering 10 types of weapons and variants of electronic devices that can be taken.
Among the quite frightening is the bomb container sow PFM-1 antipersonnel Butterfly, four different types of anti-tank missiles with laser guidance, four multi-caliber rocket launchers, two bombs FAB-250GP concrete crushers, sea mines, missiles Spieler device (chaff), torpedo MK46 type, and electronic signaling devices ICRM vandals.
In terms of speed, with 3,700 liters of fuel conditions without charge, a maximum cruise speed of Mi-17 can reach 262 miles per hour. Meanwhile, when the weight has reached the maximum limit, cruising speed can only 250 km per hour. With memperhitugkan overload factor of about 5 per cent of the maximum payload limits, Mi-17 cruising range is 465 miles.
Whereas when the helicopters fly without a payload, then cruising range can reach 590 km. Reliability Mi-17 increasingly obvious to a backup power supply equipment unit which allows Mi-17 capable of landing on an emergency basis, such as soft ground, snow fields, even landing in the water with the help of foot buoy.
Go inside the cockpit, avionics devices that accompany some equipment such as a radio transmitter receiver that works on high frequency (HF) and very high frequency (VHF), radio internal communications (intercom), radio compass, radar level gauge (altimeter) which equipped with a GPWS (Global Positioning & Warning Systems), till the autopilot, equipment Doppler effect, and the system identification friend / opponent SRO-2M type, as well as devices to sow metal pieces (chaff) or sparks (flare) as detractors missiles.
Number of Mi-17 crew is three men, for the construction of the cockpit using multiple models side by side with two separate control unit and a navigator. Protect the safety of the crew, the nose section of the wasted special glass that can withstand the brunt of 7.62 mm caliber projectile.
Shooting incident Heli Mi-17-V5 Army in Papua
Thursday, August 4, 2011, 14:10 pm CDT - The Mi-17 Penerbad that in BKO (Down Operations Control) Military Command XVII / Cenderawasih, was sprayed with gunfire by unidentified persons around Puncak Smile, Puncak Jaya in Papua. Head of Information Military Command XVII / Cenderawasih, Lieutenant Colonel Ali Bogra H, in Jayapura, confirmed the incident.
Mi-17 piloted by Major and Lieutenant Kandek CPN CPN Fandi, taking off from the airport in Puncak Jaya, Wamena purpose evacuate a 753/AVT TNI Infantry Battalion, on behalf of Private First Class S Fana Hadi. This is enlisted gunner on Security Task Force Tactical Command Area with an unknown party who was shot in Mulia, Puncak Jaya, Tuesday (2/8/2011).
"Two-point hole in the body of the helicopter due to a barrage of shots from under it," said Bogra. Two points lower body it is the left side of the front wheels under the copilot's seat, and on the right side near the engine. "The second shot is even penetrate the body of the shooting victim is evacuated," he said.
This second point shot in the left rib Hadi. Critical condition of the victim who had become increasingly critical to make his life could not be saved again and died on a flight to Wamena, Jaya Wijaya district.
Transformed into the UN helicopters
Indonesian government is noble, though owned defense equipment is limited, including in terms of quantity, but still showed a sense of "social" in the international arena. This is evidenced for the first time, the TNI Headquarters will send three helicopters to the UN peacekeeping mission who served in the Darfur region of Sudan. Selected third heli, Mil Mi-17V5 Hip is an asset Assault Squadron 31 (Puspenerbad) based in Lanumad Ahmad Yani Semarang. Labeled with the international missions in conflict areas, three helicopters must meet the high standards set UN.
To meet this demand, Puspenerbad also prepared three helicopters Mi-17V5 helicopters best of 12 similar units owned. The choice fell to the HA-5156, HA-5157 and HA-5159. This is the third heli last procurement results in 2011 so it is still very good condition. If you look at its track record, the new HA-5156 pocketed 115 hours of flying, HA-5157 bagging 102 hours of flying, and HA-5159 collecting 237 hours of flying. His condition is still very new, and this gives confidence to Indonesia alone.
Mi-17, we are only the latest, while other countries have thousands of helicopters flying hours so that the UN was surprise with our heli. Not a bit of renovation and additions made to the three Mi-17 is required in order to meet the requirements of the United Nations. In general sued all three helicopters were able to fly instrument, because it is possible to operate at night and in the fickle weather, carry external cargo, sending troops to take fastrope techniques and martial arts skills.
Not only about the navigation and communication systems, strict requirements were ordained to the affairs of aviators. In the LOA (Letter of Assist) presented the UN, stated that for the third manned helicopters, Indonesia must prepare four sets of crew consisting of four pilot (PIC) and four co-pilot. For PIC must have a minimum of 1,500 flight hours with 750 hours of which 400 hours in command on type and intended. In addition, the PIC must also have a minimum of 30 hours of instrument flight and 50 hours of night flying with NVG. While the co-pilot had pocketed at least 100 flight hours in type intended.
Fly for security reasons, by the Indonesian government has finally approved every heli will be manned by two sets of crew. So with three helicopters, supplied six pilots and six co-pilot as well.
All PiC (Airmen I) rank of major while for copilot (Airmen II) and a second lieutenant rank of First Lieutenant. "Two of them (co-pilot) pilot candidates already, but have not had supervised as hurried preparations for the UN," said Lt. Col. Eko Priyanto CPN appointed as Commander of Task Force / Detachment Commander Penerbad in Sudan.
Keeping in the importance of the role of Mi-17-V5 in mobiltas air support, including support for non-war military operations, the Army's plan would add 6 helicopters of this type again. "Army units targeting 18 Mi-17 so that one battalion of troops can be transported at the same time," said the former Army Chief Pramod Edhi Wibowo. He added haulage Mi-17 is greater than the type Bell Helicopter is only capable of carrying one third of the strength of the battalion. "So this helicopter is very effective especially the Army more mat strength in the border area, land and mountains," says Pramod. (Adapted dar various sources)
