Historical Background of the Mi-24P Helicopter

The Mi-24P is one of many variants of the legendary Mi-24—a versatile combat helicopter produced in the USSR and used by Warsaw Pact countries and numerous operators worldwide. The “P” variant featured a fixed twin-barrel 30mm cannon replacing the movable machine gun mount. The Mi-24P entered service at the end of the 1970s, with its first combat use occurring during the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan (1979–1989). The helicopter was also used in conflicts during the 1980s and 1990s, the Cold War, as well as by some armies in modern times.
