Komisia Mil Mi-24 (Ruština: Миль Ми-24; Nato hlási názov: Hind) je veľká helikoptéra, útočný vrtuľník a nízkokapacitná transport jednotiek s priestorom pre osem cestujúcich. Vyrába ho vrtuľníkový závod Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant a od roku 1972 ho prevádzkujú sovietske vzdušné sily a jeho nástupcovia spolu s viac ako 30 ďalšími národmi.

A Class of One
Komisia Mil Mi-24 is one of the most menacing aircraft ever built. While the West developed specialized attack helicopters like the AH-1 Cobra, the Soviet Union created a “flying tank” that could do it all. It is a unique hybrid: a heavily armed gunship that also features a cabin large enough to carry eight fully equipped paratroopers. Its silhouette—with its sloping “double-bubble” cockpits and insect-like wings—is an icon of Cold War power. Whether it’s hunting tanks or dropping Spetsnaz behind enemy lines, the Hind remains a formidable presence on modern battlefields.

Design Engineering: Brutality Meets Physics
- The Lift-Generating Wings: Unlike most helicopters, the Hind’s stub wings aren’t just for holding weapons. At high speeds, they provide up to 25% of the aircraft’s total lift. This allows the Hind to reach speeds that would cause other helicopters to stall.
- Titanium “Bathtub”: The crew sits in a titanium-armored tub capable of withstanding hits from 12.7mm rounds. Even the rotor blades are titanium-tipped to survive impacts with branches or light anti-aircraft fire.
- The “Crocodile” Lean: If you look at a Hind from the front, you’ll notice the entire fuselage is tilted 2.5 degrees to the left. This was an engineering fix to counteract the “translating tendency” of the massive main rotor, helping the pilot keep the aircraft stable during a hover.
- Retractable Gear: To squeeze out every bit of speed, the Mi-24 features retractable landing gear—a rarity for helicopters—which tucks away to reduce drag during high-speed “dashes.”
Operational History: “Satan’s Chariot”
- The Afghan Icon: During the Soviet-Afghan War, the Mujahideen nicknamed the Mi-24 Shaitan-Arba (Satan’s Chariot). It was the only weapon they truly feared until the arrival of the American Stinger missile, which forced Hind pilots to change their tactics to ultra-low-level “nap-of-the-earth” flying.
- The Flying Tanker: In a pinch, the Hind’s troop cabin can be fitted with extra fuel tanks, giving it a massive ferry range for long-distance deployments across the Siberian wilderness or African deserts.
- Chernobyl Hero: Špecializované Mi-24R (Hind-G1) variants were the first on the scene at the Chernobyl disaster. Equipped with “pincer” arms on the wingtips to take soil samples and lead-shielded cockpits, they mapped the radiation levels around the failing reactor.
- Global Warrior: The Hind has fought in over 40 conflicts, from the Iran-Iraq War (where it famously engaged in dogfights with Iranian AH-1 Cobras) to modern-day missions in Ukraine and Syria.
