The ground assault helicopter Mi-24D (Hind D) first flew in 1972. The rather heavier Mi-24V (Hind E) equipped with the SPS-24V control system for AT-6 missiles to combat armored vehicle targets was produced between 1976 and 1986. With a weapon load of up to 2 tons both versions have enormous fire power. The whole of the front fuselage is armored. The Mi-24 is therefore also known as the Flying Tank or Crocodile. So far about 2000 units in all variants have been produced, about 600 of which have been exported to 40 countries. Model details: Structural details on surfaces; Detailed cockpit with instrument panel; Detailed cargo compartment with seat frame; Separate side doors; Optional exhaust pipe casings; Movable chin mounted cannon; Weapons hardpoints with pylons; Rocket pods and AT-6 anti-tank missile launch rails; Movable main and tail rotors; and Decals for 3 versions: Soviet air force, Iraqi air force and NVA (East German army).
