I have little knowledge about Mi 35M and Mi28NE helicopters. So I have opened this thread where experts can discuss here.
@Penguin @Horus @Irfan Baloch and others, plz discuss.
About these two Helicopters regarding their advantage-disadvantage, specifications, roles, price etc.

actually they are not in the same class,

as Mi-35 is not a true attack copter, but more like a gunship in which had several roles beside spreading the coil of death. Meanwhile, Mi-28 is dedicated attack copter, a heavy ones more like AH-64D in roles and capability

I'm no expert but the way I see it:

1.What she said ;

actually they are not in the same class,

as Mi-35 is not a true attack copter, but more like a gunship in which had several roles beside spreading the coil of death. Meanwhile, Mi-28 is dedicated attack copter, a heavy ones more like AH-64D in roles and capability

2.If you're a military with plenty of cash,you don't need the Mi-35 as you have dedicated troop carriers which are backed by dedicated attack choppers for cover.If not,you can use the 2 in 1 Mi-35.

Mi28 has a secret crew compartment which can carry two people.
Not meant for transportation but can be used to carry both pilots of downed heli for rescue purpose .......
(Not very known fact)

It is obviously not secret anymore ;-)
Could also be used to insert a special forces team

Mi-28 = Best suited for anti armor role.
Mi-35 = Updated version of Mi-24 with no more issues with high altitude operations. Best suited for airborne troop support, close air support operations.

Both very different helicopters. Mi-35 has practically no rival helicopter its a unique machine for its role. Mi-28 and KA-52 are very similar. Russia favors the Mi-28 as it has made more orders for it, KA-52 recently won a order from Egypt.

Mi-24 (Hind) = armed assault helicopter, capable of carrying three crew members (pilot, weapons system officer and (optional) technician), eight combat troops and 1,500 kg of external combat stores (bombs, rocketpods, gunpods, submunition/mine dispenser pods, atgws). It was armed with nosemounted four barrel 12.7 mm gatling gun turret or twinbarrel 23mm cannon turret or fixed twin-barrel 30mm cannon and passenger compartment window mounted machine guns

Mi-35 = export version of the Mi-24V (Hind-E)
Mi-35M / Mi-35M1 = night attack version of Mi-35, fitted with upgraded advanced avionics and sensor package, including night vision systems, GOES-342 electro-optical range finder/targeting system, GLONASS/GPS navigation system, electronic multifunction displays, onboard computer, and jam-proof communications equipment.

Mi-35MS =Command variant of Mi-35M

The Mil Mi-28 (NATO reporting name "Havoc") is a Russian all-weather, day-night, military tandem, two-seat anti-armor attack helicopter. It is a dedicated attack helicopter with no intended secondary transport capability, better optimized than the Mil Mi-24/25/35 gunship for the role. While the Mi-28 is not intended for use as a transport, it does have a small passenger compartment capable of carrying three people. The planned purpose of this is to enable the rescue of downed helicopter crews. The Mi-28 helicopter is equipped with a turreted 2A42 30mm cannon, stabilised in two axes, plus external loads carried on pylons beneath stub wings (aams, atgws, rocketpods, gunpods, submunition dispensers).

Mi-28N is a more heavily armored night attack variant. The Night Havoc helicopter retains most of the structural design of the Mi-28. The main difference is the installation of an integrated electronic combat system. Other modifications include: new main gearbox for transmitting higher power to the rotor; new all plastics 30mm shell resistant high-efficiency blades with swept-shaped tips; and an engine fuel injection control system. The main sensors of the integrated electronic combat system are the microwave radar antenna, mounted above the rotor head, and a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) system. The system displays the helicopter location on a moving map indicator, and flight, systems and target information on liquid crystal displays. The crew are equipped with night-vision goggles.

The dual-control Mi-28NE is a variant of the helicopter that enables both personnel onboard to pilot the aircraft.
