it seems to me that you need to do some research about its "sensors" and weapons vikhr-m Ataka etc..
Guidance for missiles is provided by the Albalet millimetric-wave radar.

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 pilot uses a helmet-mounted target designator, which allocates the target to the navigator's surveillance and fire control system. The
navigator/weapons officer is then able to deploy guided weapons or guns against the target. The targeting system follows the direction of the pilot's
eyes.
The integrated surveillance and fire control system has two optical channels providing wide and narrow fields of view, a narrow-field-of-view optical
television channel, and laser rangefinder. The system can move within 110 degrees in azimuth and from +13 to -40 degrees in elevation.
