A detailed technical and operational history of a deadly and long-serving Soviet/Russian gunship and attack helicopter.

The Mil Mi-24 Soviet/Russian gunship and attack helicopter has been in continuous combat service since its first appearance in the early 1970s.

• The Mil Mi-24’s impressive performance, ability to transport fully armed troops, and imposing armament soon earned the Mi-24 the nickname “Crocodile” and have made the big helicopter an opponent that is still feared to this day.
• The Mi-24’s technical, developmental, and operational details, as well as upgrades and variants, all are discussed here.
• Included are discussions of all versions, armament, radio, radar warning and navigational equipment, and defense systems.
• Tactics and operations are also presented, with special emphasis on the Mi-24’s service in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989.
• Worldwide use by over 30 countries includes the air forces of Angola, Brazil, Cuba, India, Iraq, North Korea, Syria, Vietnam, Yemen, and others.
