Russia still doesn’t have a rank VII premium helicopter, the best option is the old KA-50. After “nerfs” its no longer as good as it once was.
The modules parts means it cant really take hits like it used to. ( I remember when you could keep flying and fighting after taking 5+ missile hits and a missing tail.) The Vikhr also isn’t as good as it used to be. Not to mention the KA-50 doesn’t get thermals which can be a pain on some maps or for night battles.

So what could Russia get, maybe Irans new Mi-28NE.

It is an Mi-28 like in game, but has the IRCM like the Mi-28NM, it can also get the 9M123M khrizantema missiles.

It also can possibly use the Iranian Almas-2 missiles. These are basically Iranian Spike missiles.

This Iranian Mi-28NE would sit nicely at BR 12.7 Especially if Iran is to be the sub-tree for USSR / Russia

With LDIRCM and FnF munitions its 13.0 minimum.

Without FnF then 12.7

Nah, I would like to see Iran implemented in some other way, like TT (maybe joint). Also only 2 nations have rank VII premium helicopters and rank VI are as potent since we don’t have rank VIII for helicopters.

Ka-50 or any Rank VII+ premium ground vehicle is more than enough in my opinion. Given how bad is playing helicopter PvE merely for vehicle research is much worse than using ground vehicles to do so, any really possible addition for USSR should be the Ka-52M, given how Mi-28NM took the head in terms of USSR helicopter meta and Mi-8AMTSh-VN is just gimmick, rocket rush is effective but not in a massive frame, in my opinion Ka-52M is indeed the best option.
