Mil Mi-6 “Hook” – Historical Background

The Mi-6 helicopter, designated by NATO as “Hook”, was one of the largest transport helicopters of its time and the world’s first turbine-powered helicopter. Designed in the USSR, it entered service in 1962 and was operated by the Soviet Army as well as Warsaw Pact countries, including Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia. The Mi-6 served mainly during the Cold War period until the 1990s, fulfilling missions such as heavy equipment transport, evacuation, and logistical support. It took part in military operations in Afghanistan and the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster among others.
