Mil Mi-24A Hind-A


The Mi-24A (NATO Code: Hind-A) was a Soviet multi-purpose attack helicopter designed with the intent of being a versatile combat platform that could serve both as an attack helicopter and a troop transport. It was developed in the late 1960s and entered service in 1972. The Hind quickly gained popularity due to its unique design and impressive capabilities. It could quickly perform medevac missions as well as troop insertion and extraction operations. In addition to that, its assault capabilities were just as impressive, with its powerful armament including a 12.7mm nose-mounted machine gun, rockets, and anti-tank guided missiles. The Hind's ability to operate in various terrains and climates made it a valuable asset for the Soviet military, ensuring its widespread deployment and success in numerous conflicts. Due to its versatility, it is still in use by several nations, including Russia, albeit in more advanced variants.

Soviet pilots called the Mi-24 the "flying tank" (Russian: летающий танк, romanized: letayushchiy tank), a term used historically with the famous World War II Soviet Il-2 Shturmovik armored ground attack aircraft. Other common unofficial nicknames were "Galina" (or "Galya"), "Crocodile" (Russian: Крокодил, romanized: Krokodil), due to the helicopter's camouflage scheme, and "Drinking Glass" (Russian: Стакан, romanized: Stakan), because of the flat glass plates that surround earlier Mi-24 variants' cockpits.
