Russian and Ukrainian forces deployed the Mi-24 for air support, troop transport and attacking ground targets. Early in the conflict, the Mi-24 was used in major battles such as the assault on Hostomel airport near Kiev, where it provided essential air support. The Ukrainian Mi-24 fleet countered Russian advances by targeting armored vehicles and troop positions. The helicopter's robust design and firepower made it a valuable asset in the intense fighting around Kiev and other key areas during the invasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mil Mi-24 (NATO reporting name: Hind) is a large combat helicopter, attack helicopter and low-capacity eight-passenger troop transport. It is produced by the Mil Helicopter Plant in Moscow and was introduced by the Soviet Air Force in 1972. The helicopter is currently used by 58 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn NATO circles, the export versions, Mi-25 and Mi-35, are designated by a letter suffix as \"Hind D\" and \"Hind E\". Soviet pilots called the Mi-24 the \"flying tank\", a term used historically with the famous Soviet Il-2 Shturmovik armored ground attack aircraft of the Second World War. Other common unofficial nicknames were \"Galina\" (or \"Galya\"), \"Crocodile\", because of the helicopter's camouflage scheme, and \"Drinking Glass\", because of the flat glass plates surrounding the cockpits of earlier Mi-24 variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/range\/diecast-model\/aircraft\/panzerkampf\"\u003ePanzerkampf Aircraft\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Panzerkampf range presents affordable, ready made diecast models of military aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanzerkampf diecast airplanes feature:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal construction with some plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable extended\/retracted landing gear with rotating wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected moving parts such as canopies, control surfaces and swing-wings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panzerkampf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49050384236699,"sku":"14005PF","price":173.63,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9214\/7611\/files\/67481.jpg?v=1791915394","url":"https:\/\/passiondiecast.com\/products\/free-shipping-mil-mi-24v-hind-attack-helicopter-russian-army-zaporizhia-ukraine-2022-panzerkampf-14005pf","provider":"Passion Diecast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
