The Mi-24 Hind is a multirole attack helicopter manufactured by the Soviet Mil bureau. The first helicopter to enter service with the Soviet Air Force as a dedicated gunship and small scale troop transport, it was developed with the Mi-8 'Hip' transport helicopter's propulsion system, entering Soviet service in 1972. The NATO name "Hind" comes from the helicopter's distinctive nose area, which resembles that of a female deer, also called a hind.

Ace Combat 2Edit

The Mi-24 Hind-E is one of three attack helicopters in use (the others being the AH-64A Apache & RAH-66 Comanche) with the URF. They are encountered in missions such as 'One Night Stand' and 'Cavalry'.

Ace Combat 04: Shattered SkiesEdit

The Mi-24 Hind-E is uncommonly seen under use by the Federal Erusian Air Force. It is seen in the mission "Deep Strike", where a squadron takes off from the solar plant at Faith Park. They are seen for the last time in mission 10, "Tango Line", where another formation takes off from the mountain bases at the eponymous Tango Line.

In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon's single-player campaign, the Mi-24 Hind is first encountered in the missions "Shockwave" and "Red Moon", where it is used by the SRN. Several Hinds are also used by the New Russian Federation forces when the battlefield changes to Russia, appearing in "Motherland".

The Mi-24 is the Russian counterpart to the AH-64D Apache Longbow, and the main aerial enemy faced in helicopter missions. The aircraft is armed with homing missiles and a dual barreled GSh-30-2 autocannon, which is virtually identical to the Longbow's M230 chaingun. It can be also seen equipped with rocket launcher pods, which they will use at close range.

In close range, they will attempt to hit the player with their main gun, and will follow them around in an strafing motion while doing so. In the other hand, getting too far away from a Hind will make them use homing missiles, which are impossible to evade outside countermaneouvers, but can be shot out of the air. A Hind's health can be measured by looking at the helicopter's exhausts (the purple spots by the canopy), which will explode in flames as the aircraft takes damage. Once it comes to grief, the Mi-24 explodes and breaks apart at the rear section.

The Mi-24 Hind is unlocked for player use after the main campaign is completed, along with the PAK-FA. The third available helicopter after the MH-60 Black Hawk, it is similar to the AH-64 in combat performance, with the added advantage of a larger weapons payload and stronger armor. However, the Hind possesses very limited mobility compared to the Apache Longbow, and is less stable.

TriviaEdit

Ace Combat: Assault HorizonEdit

• If an enemy Hind is shot down at low enough altitude so that the airframe doesn't explode in mid-air, by looking closely at the cockpit small blood stains can be seen within.
• In all three colors, the word "опасно", Russian for "danger", is present in the tail broom.
