The Mi-24 (NATO reporting name ’Hind’) is a large gunship and low-capacity troop transport produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and operated from 1972 by the Soviet AF, its successors, and over thirty other nations. In October 2007, the Russian Air Force announced it would replace its 250 Mi-24 helicopter gunships with 300 more modern Mi-28s and possibly Ka-50s by 2015.
In NATO circles the export versions, Mi-25 and Mi-35, are simply denoted with a letter suffix as “Hind D“ and “Hind E“ respectively.
Soviet pilots called the aircraft летающий танк (letayushchiy tank, flying tank).
More common unofficial nicknames were Крокодил (Krokodil, Crocodile)
and Стакан (Stakan, Glass), because of the flat glass plates which surrounded the three place cockpit of the Mi-24A.
