MI-24 Hind
In Team Yankee
IRL
The Mil Mi-24 Hind was an unusual aircraft in that it combined the roles of transport and attack helicopter, which had never been fully replicated before or since. They’re heavily armored such that nothing smaller than a 23mm caliber bucket will do much damage to them. These helicopters were infamous during the Soviet-Afghan war for sending the Muhajadeen on the run, at least until they were supplied with Stinger missiles by the good ol’ US of A. Eventually the Hind was replaced by the Mil Mi-28 Havoc, featuring a more conventional attack helicopter design. Export variants of the Hind are still used by many third world countries, including a modernized version called the SuperHind made in South Africa.
The most famous version is the Hind-D, featuring the iconic double-bubble cockpit. The earlier Hind-A featured a more conventional flat windows cockpit.
