The Mi-24 is a Russian, multipurpose attack helicopter.

The largest operator of the Mi-24 is Russia with more than 360 in service. Russia operates the Mi-24PN, which uses modern avionics including a FLIR camera and fixed landing gears. The Mi-24PN is armed with a plethora of weaponry including upto 4x lethal 9M120 Ataka-V anti-tank guided missile, upto 4x FAB-250/500 (free fall bombs), upto 4x ZAB-500 (thermobaric bomb), and upto 4x UB-32 multi-launch rocket pods (All but the Ataka-V, depending on mission loadout), and a 4-barrel Yak-B gattling gun, mounted in a VSPU-24 pod under the nose of the Mi-24

The Mi-24 also has the capacity to carry 8 fully loaded troops, or can be used for medivac with 4x stretchers.
Mi-24 has a max. speed of 208mph, and has a range of nearly 280miles.
It has been involved in more wars than can be named, and has seen amazing success in all climates and situations, during the infamous Soviet-Afghanistan war between 1979 and 1990, the Mi-24 saw much success in combat to the point that Mujahideen fighters nick named it "The devils chariot".

The United States CIA and shadow agencies saw fit to introduce the Stinger missile into Afghanistan, possibly to test the missile, making sure it would work against Russian aircraft. The stinger missile gained success in the early part of its introduction, until Russia countered the threat with exhaust covers and ever more brutal tactics with the Mi-24's gratuitous amount of weaponry. The Stinger soon gained a reputation for being unreliable, and inaccurate with the Mujahideen fighters, and was soon discarded for more reliable DShK 12.7mm heavy machine gun to take down the devils chariot, it also saw little success against the onslaught of the vicious Mi-24. In the end, the Mujahideen failed to stop the "Hind".

The Mi-24PN was also used by Russia in Georgia (2008) where it was said to be responsible for 2-3 Georgian tank kills and may have destroyed a Georgian Air field in Gori.

  • @Heaney5551 Buthurt, bro?

  • @guron246 Dude, don't generalize, we aren't all stupid. I'm sure where you come from there are stupid people too, but you don't see me saying all of you are stupid.

  • @guron246 Come on, now, don't lump all of us Americans into one package because one person was an idiot. The Mi-24 is a hell of a vehicle and was widely feared by the U.S. Military during the Cold War. The new Mi-28 is also a beast of a machine and a solid upgrade to this old War Horse.

  • Make it available on mobile.

  • it has boobs on its head.....
