The Mil Mi-24, with the NATO reporting name "Hind", is a large attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport developed by the Mil Moscow Design Bureau and introduced by the Soviet Air Force in 1972. It was nicknamed the "flying tank" by Soviet pilots due to its unique role in combining the capabilities of an attack helicopter and troop transport.
Key Characteristics
Unique Design: The Mi-24 was the first Soviet combat helicopter designed to perform a dual role: providing close air support fire and transporting up to eight passengers or paratroopers.
Rugged Construction: It has thick armor plating, including main rotor blades made of titanium that are resistant to 12.7 mm caliber fire. The cockpit is hermetically sealed for protection in NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) conditions.
Speed: Despite its large size, the Mi-24 is capable of achieving high speeds thanks to two powerful Isotov turboshaft engines and short wings that generate additional lift during fast flight.
Armament: Different variants are equipped with a variety of weapons, ranging from a nose-mounted 12.7 mm Gatling machine gun to a fixed 30 mm GSh-30-2K cannon, as well as weapon pylons on its short wings for carrying rockets, bombs, and anti-tank missiles.
Operational History
The Mi-24 has been used extensively in various conflicts around the world since its introduction. The helicopter is famous for its involvement in the Soviet-Afghan War and was also used in the First and Second Chechen Wars. Currently, the Mi-24 and its export versions, the Mi-25 and Mi-35, are still in service with almost 58 countries worldwide.
Important Variants
Some main variants include:
Mi-24D (Hind-D): An early attack variant featuring the distinctive double-bubble cockpit.
Mi-24V (Hind-E): A dedicated anti-tank variant armed with more advanced missiles.
Mi-24P (Hind-F): A variant that replaced the nose machine gun with a 30 mm twin-barrel cannon mounted on the starboard side of the fuselage.
The Mil Mi-24 remains one of the most iconic and widely known attack helicopters in military aviation history.
