As someone who grew up in the 1980’s, during the Cold War, the sound and appearance of a Hind always made chills run up my spine, it was always the “bad guy helicopter” in action movies… “Hey, the baddies need a helicopter in this scene, let’s give ‘em a MI-24 Hind!”
Honestly, seeing a Hind in a NATO country's service almost feels like having a reprogrammed Terminator. Part of the reason Russia's been having some difficulty is because Ukraine also held on to their Mi-24 fleet after independence, in addition to the eastern NATO members.

In summer 1985 I took part a military exercise. Eight Mi-8 and four Mi-24 took off every morning just besides our camp and made a formation above us then flew away. They were at so low altitude that we could see insignia on the pilots.

@@PresidentEvil Not true tbh, comparing Mi-24 and Apache is like trying to compare Bradley and a BTR-60. Apache's purpose is to provide support and strike the enemy. Mi-24 was built to transport troops and provide cover for them. It would be better to compare Mi-28 and Apache.

I've always envisioned myself owning one of these bad boys. Take out the weapons systems and install subwoofers on the underwing hardpoints, and just cruise down the beach or over the freeway blasting my favourite jams and carrying hotties from one party to the next! I'd call it the "Party Wagon"!

Bad ass helicopter :-) I have always loved this beast. The Russians know how to build a helicopter. I think the US Military actually has acquired a few of these and other Russian air craft after the Soviet Union fell.
The US has at least 4 that they admit to having. These were taken after the First Gulf War or handed over by Eygpt, a captured one in Chad. I'm also pretty sure that the Soviets have quit a number of our aircraft and wouldn't put it past them to have come across an F-15 Eagle or F-16 Falcon. We know that they acquired an F-14 Tomcat From Iran in the late 1970s.
Neil Ellis and his door gunners Fred the Fiijan and Christoff the Frenchman (who was there on holidays) held of a whole rebel army in Sierra Leone with this beast of a machine.
At the end of the video Mi-24 be like: “Hey comrades, I know where to get vodka , follow me” First Blackhawk: “Hey wait for me, Sputnik!” Second Blackhawk: “Me neither!”
Eastern European countries holding onto their Hinds was a smart move. I believe the UN Peacekeepers in Africa received a couple of Mi-24s a few years back (though I don't know which country donated them). They were piloted by Ukrainians and saw action in several countries against terrorist rebel factions IIRC.

No troops inside civilian owned. If there were troops inside 7 or 8 total the Hind still does a rolling take off and rarely does a vertical take if ever just to heavy for that.
I love Russians simply because they dont affect me as a individual in the uk in my little town other than helping us and the us getting rid of the nazis 👍god bless russia.
You can buy spare parts from for East Block countries but must cost a bit and a while to get. I understand this specfic civilian owned Brut is only flown like 5 times a year if that to reduce its wear do to the fact spare parts are hard to come by.
the russians are here !! the russians are here!! :D , from some old movie where the f4 phantoms were the migs :D the difference in sound of russian and us helicopters are noticable. our military bought some blackhawks and they sound nothing like the mi8/17 or the hind.

Interesting《☆》A Russian Hind followed by 2 Blackhawks made by a company founded by a Russian immigrant named Igor Sikorski😎🎱☮🔊✌👍
Good thing he moved to the US and gave way to the alternative engineering school in Russia.
In the real world, it would be the opposite. Hind in the back, Skorsky in front
Those are Hh-60 Pavehawks

Still surreal to see a Hind flying over rows of F-16s! What a cool video.
That profile of that gunship as it banks right, with all of Its arsenals in full, it a frightening sight to see if your an enemy on the ground.
This Mil mi 24 is ex Bulgarian Air Force
Очень красивый вертолет
A Hind D? Colonel, what's a russian gunship doing here?
Snake !
I have no idea. But it looks like our little diversion got their attention. Now it's your best chance to slip in unnoticed.
The sinister look of this choppa alone would freeze opponents in their tracks. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Have you seen a Russian war movie, The 9th Company? It showed several 'sinistral' scenes of the Hind.

Why would you match a utility helicopter against against a gunship.
Try AH1 Cobra or an Apache.
“You see that Hind? …We’re gonna take it.”
