@MirZZi carfull actually the Mi-8 and Mi-17 has six hardpoints that can carry bombs, rockets like (UB-32 S-5 rocket launchers, S-24 240 mm rocket), (9M17 Phalanga anti-tank)
, gunpods, and external fuel tanks. Also in newer versions Mi-17v are newer avionics which alows them to be all weather or time condition.
@tyraubide are you mentally retarded? Hind is a fucking assault helicopter which has the ability to transport 8 fully armed troops to battle while Mi-17 is just a transport helo
BTW, the weather radar in the nose is non-standard, a local retrofit, as this is an early example that was delivered without. To be sure, the Mi-8MTV/Mi-17 and Mi-8AMT/Mi-171 now has a radar as standard, but the radome is bigger and located lower.
@gtamodman122 Oh, OK. The police and the marines of my country (colombia) have the same problem, but with uh-1s only, while the army does have this beast (i believe 25 of the v5 variant) plus +/-50 blackhawks, and its slowly getting rid of its hueys (some of them are ending up in the first 2!).
@EAMR262 Greece (you could just check my chanel :-) ) I mean we bought CH-47s and some used UH-1s while we could get these reliable,cheap,and great 3-in-1 helicopters
@MirZZi because it is a multi-role helicopter doesn't make it a cargo heli.
