Historical information about the MI-24P Hind

The MI-24P Hind is a Soviet heavy attack helicopter, introduced into the Soviet Army arsenal in the 1980s and widely used during the Cold War up to modern times. The letter "P" in its designation comes from the Russian word "Пушка" (pushka, meaning cannon) – this variant was equipped with a fixed twin-barrel 30mm GSh-30K cannon mounted on the right side of the fuselage. The MI-24P gained fame for its involvement in the conflicts in Afghanistan (1979-1989), unrest in the Caucasus, and numerous military operations in the countries of the former USSR as well as exported users such as India and Iraq. This helicopter combines the function of a gunship with the ability to transport a group of assault troops, making it a unique combat platform.
