- 4 x R-60M missiles + 40 x S-8KO rockets
- 4 x 9M114 Shturm missiles + 4 x R-60M missiles + 40 x S-8KO rockets
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in a helicopter, the features of using the helicopter in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".
Pros:
- 30 mm cannon provides great offensive/defensive capabilities against lightly armoured vehicles and air targets
- Very flexible payload
- R60M missile is very effective against close flying targets
- 9M114 Shturm ATGM can be fired from 5 km away, making most AA useless
- Has access to RWR, HIRRS, IRCM, flares/chaff and a ballistic computer
- Can easily reach 300 km/h with a full payload
- Armoured plates increase protection for the engine, transmission and the crew
Cons:
- Large profile and lack of manoeuvrability makes it an easy target
- Fixed 30 mm cannon may be hard to aim at air targets for inexperienced players
- Lacks thermal and night vision sight for gunner
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the helicopter in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
The Mi-24 development started in the early 1960s by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant company, with a very controversial start. Several Soviet officers believed that conventional weapons were a safer choice to spend money in. But seeing the successfull use of armed helicopters in Vietnam by the US Army convinced the Soviets about the capacities of armed helicopters, thus shown support for Mil's project.
Two prototypes were eventually done: a 7-ton single-engine design and a 10.5-ton twin-engined one. In May 1968, the twin-engine mock up was chosen for further development. The project made his first flight in September 1968, and entered service bearing the name of Mi-24 in 1972.
The Mi-24P variant was a later development of the Mi-24D, featuring a new fixed 30mm twin-barrel GSh-30-2K cannon instead of the old 12.7mm machinegun turret.
The helicopter first saw combat service in Ogaden War and in the Chadian-Libyan Conflict, used by the Ethiopian and Lybian forces respectively. The Mi-24 proven to be very effective in ground infantry support duties, even managing to save a company of infantry while out of ammo, scaring the rebels by maneuvering aggressively towards them! It was very popular amoung the ground troops.
The Mi-24P's modernized variant, the Mi-35, is still in use to this day in various countries, including Russia.
