HISTORY OF THIS HELICOPTER
Mil Mi-24 is a twin-engined combat helicopter intended for close support of ground forces, destruction of armored targets and carrying troops or cargo. Soviet pilots called the aircraft 'letayushiy tank' or flying tank. Another common nickname is 'Krokodil' (Crocodile) - due to the helicopter's camouflage and fuselage shape. A characteristic feature of the Mi-24 is the main cabin connected with the flight-deck, which is 2.83 m long, 1.46 m wide and 1.2 m high. It is capable of accommodating up to armed 8 troops, they can fire their small arms through the opened side windows. The Mi-24 was the first helicopter to enter service with the Russian Air Force as an assault transport and gunship. Additional missions include direct air support, antitank, armed escort, and air to air combat. The helicopter was used extensively in the Afghanistan War, becoming a symbol of the conflict. The Russians have deployed significant numbers of Hinds in Europe and have exported the Hind to many third world countries.
