Game analysis
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
- "An assault and attack helicopter that is a mainstay of the Russian Army. Highly durable because of its heavy armor, it is also appealing because of the abundance of weaponry loaded on board. The unique rounded shape of the nose is a notable feature and it is referred to by the NATO codename "Hind." In addition to anti-tank combat and close air support, it has a wide variety of uses including the transportation of military personnel and goods."

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
- After a Hind has been destroyed, one can inspect the wreckage up-close and see the canopy partly shattered and its interior covered in the pilots' blood.
- In all three colors, the word "опасно", Russian for "dangerous", is present in the tail broom.
- The firing sound of the Mi-24's gun was the sound used by the AH-64D's in the E3 2011 and September public release demo. However, the latter was changed before release, and the original sound was reused for the Hind.
