Mil Mi-24 Helicopter

The Mil Mi-24 Helicopter For FS2004

The well known Mi-24 is an attack/low capacity transport helicopter which was developed by the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant in the late 70s in the former Soviet Union. Mostly used by the Russian Air Force but many were exported to the former soviet bloc countries and to the Middle-East. It became famous in the Afganistan war but serves in other important confilcts such as the Iran-Iraq War (against iranian Cobras), Nicaraguan Civil War and the Gulf-War.

It is based on the Mi-8 but got a newer and more powerful engines, improved avionics systems and stronger fuselage structure. Many variations exist according to the wide operation range. Its heavy air-to-ground armament carrying capability makes it a very successful anti-tank helicopter but it also can carry air-to-air missilles.
