Mi-8MT/Mi-17 – historical background and use

The Mi-8MT and its further development, the Mi-17, are transport and combat helicopters produced originally in the USSR, later in Russia, which have undergone extensive modernization and many export modifications. These helicopters entered service in the 1970s and are still used today by more than 50 countries, including Russia, Poland, Ukraine, India, China, and the Czech Republic. They served as military transports, rescue, humanitarian missions, and medical evacuations during the Cold War and after, taking part in local conflicts and UN operations.
