The history of MI-24 Bashny.Net

The successful use of the armed forces of the United States of specialized military helicopters in military operations in Vietnam, and then the emergence of such helicopters in other countries has necessitated the creation of such helicopters here. Under the leadership of chief designer at Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, it was launched in 1967 to develop the transport-combat helicopter based on the Mi-8 helicopter.





In contrast to the light combat helicopters Bell AH-IG «Huey Cobra», intended mainly for direct support of ground troops and combat enemy tanks, new transport-combat helicopter was intended not only for these purposes, but also for tactical landings in the area of ​​the breakthrough and a foothold, to accompany the troop-transport helicopters and cover them with landings and combat helicopters of the enemy, as well as for the transport of cargo and to evacuate the wounded. Therefore, the helicopter had to have a crew of pilot and arrow-operator of weapon systems, supplemented, if necessary, flight engineer, located in a cabin in the bow, and could take on board the separation of eight marines with personal weapons and ammunition and four wounded on a stretcher, placed in cabin in the central part of the fuselage.

The helicopter had to have high flight characteristics and have a powerful missile-gun armament and improved sighting and navigation equipment. High combat survivability was provided booking cabs and major assemblies and redundant main systems, as well as the use of resources, reducing the probability of explosion and fire in injuries in combat. The idea of ​​such a helicopter, flying has become "infantry fighting vehicle" is original and belongs to Mil. After the death of Mil management of all work on the Mi-24 carried out by General Designer MN Tishchenko.

Detailed design of the helicopter pilot started in June 1968. and it was conducted in parallel with the preparation for serial production, which significantly reduce development time, and the first of two experimental helicopters B-24 first flew on 15 September 1969. (test pilot G.V.Alferov). Later it was built a pilot batch of 10 helicopters B-24 (5 to cost center and 5 at the plant in Arsenyev) designed for flying and static tests.

During the tests, the Mi-24 with normal takeoff weight of 11t reached a maximum speed of 320km / h in the combat variant and 340km / h in the transport and had a cruising speed of 280 km, respectively, 270 and / hour. In the context of ISA static ceiling was 1400 m without ground effect and dynamic ceiling 4950m. In the event of failure of one engine helicopter could continue flying with one engine running within an hour. In a normal take-off weight and flight speeds of 100-250km / h vertical acceleration was 1.75g.

The serial production of the Mi-24 began in 1970 and in 1971. helicopters in the original version of the Mi-24 began arriving in parts. The Mi-24 is serially produced at factories in Arsenyev and Rostov, which was built more than 5200 helicopters of various modifications, of which more than half of the CIS countries, and the rest is exported to 15 countries (Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hungary, India, Iraq, Libya, Mozambique, China, North Korea, Nicaragua, Peru, Poland, Vietnam, Yemen). In 1992. The serial production of the Mi-24 was terminated. In 1995. in service with the Russian army aviation was about 1,500 Mi-24 helicopters and more than 1,000 helicopters in other countries that have a long stay in the ranks. Therefore, under the leadership of OKB General Designer V.Vaynberga proposed deep modernization of the existing fleet of Mi-24 helicopters to extend their period of service, and enhance the combat effectiveness through the unification of equipment and armaments with a new combat helicopter Mi-28.



Developed and produced the following modification of the Mi-24:
• The 24-
• Mi-24
• Mi-24A
• Mi-24U
• Mi-24B
• Mi-24D
• Mi-24DU
• Mi-24V
• Mi-24P
• Mi-24VP
• Mi-24P
• Mi-24K
• Mi-24M
• Mi-24BMT
• MI-24PS
For export developed the following options for helicopters, which were delivered to countries of the Warsaw Pact, and then in other countries:
• Mi-25 - export version of the Mi-24D;
• Mi-35 - export version of the Mi-24V;
• Mi-35P - export version of the Mi-24P;
• Mi-35M - modified export version of the Mi-24B helicopters Mi-24, becoming the first mass-produced domestic helicopter battlefield and fire support, the composition of weapons and bulk payload exceeded all production overseas military helicopters, were called "flying tanks", and successfully used in military operations in Afghanistan, the Iran-Iraq war, and many other military conflicts in direct support of ground troops, suppressing weapon emplacements and anti-tanks. Especially effective Mi-24 helicopters with powerful weapons and cargo compartment, used to rescue the crews of downed planes and helicopters and evacuate the wounded in combat. During the Iran-Iraq war, Iraqi Mi-24 successfully conducted aerial combat with Iranian military helicopter Bell AH-1J «Sea Cobra», and having a significant advantage in weaponry, hit them or forced to move away and call for help fighters. In one of these air battles 27 October 1982. with the Mi-24 helicopter on a collision course issued by NAR was shot down by Iranian fighter F-4 «Phantom II», possessing powerful weaponry and twice the Mi-24 on take-off weight, the first and only in the world of the practice dogfighting when the helicopter was shot down combat aircraft. Total during the Iran-Iraq war, Iraqi pilots fly helicopters Mi-24 and Mi-8, as well as helicopters, "Gazelle", shot down 53 Iranian helicopters: Bell AH-1J «Sea Cobra», AV214, AV212 and others.

Mi-24, having a combined carrier system (rotor-wing) are characterized by high maneuverability and allow them to perform difficult acrobatics, has repeatedly demonstrated at the air show and aviation exhibitions. In the center of the combat employment and retraining of pilots of army aviation in the Russian city of Torzhok created aerobatic team "Berkut", mastered aerobatics helicopter Mi-24.
