Mil Mi-8MT/Mi-17 is one of the most widespread families of multirole helicopters in the world, produced in the USSR and later in Russia since the 1970s. The Mi-8 and its modernized version, the Mi-17, have been and are widely used by the armed forces and civilian entities of many countries, including Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Cuba, India, and China. These machines participated in numerous armed conflicts: from the Afghan war in 1979–1989, through operations in the Balkans, up to modern-day peacekeeping and rescue missions. Their period of use covers both the Cold War and modern times.
