Mi-8 / Mi-17

 

Description:

Standard utility helicopter of Soviet Bloc countries. Now in use with over 80 nations, this is one of the most common helicopters in the world. The Mi-8 is the Russian version and Mi-17 is the Export variant.

 

 

 

PRIMAL Assessment:

An reliable transport that can be fitted with upgraded engines for the high altitude conditions of countries like Afghanistan. Appropriate for covert operations in developing nations as the Mi-17 is less likely to draw attention than a Western helicopter.
