The Mi-24 Hind is a dual-seat helicopter gunship developed by the Soviet Mil bureau. One of the first true gunships in warfare, it is one of the most famous military helicopters in service, having historically operated with over thirty nations.

History

Strangereal

The helicopter saw limited use in Strangereal, noticeably by the Erusian Military during the Continental War.

Assault Horizon Universe

The Hinds were first used by the SRN during the rescue operation of Red Moon Squadron leader Sergei Illich. They were later destroyed by Shooter Squadron.[1]

During the New Russian Federation uprising, both the New Russian Federation and Loyalists forces operated Hinds. Osa Squadron, a Loyalist unit, operated the helicopter during the liberation of Moscow.[2]

Infinity Universe

The Mi-24 Hind has an attack chopper used heavily by the USEA Federation during its armed uprising, being deployed in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.[3]

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."

Trivia

  • Leasath Hind

    A Leasathian Mi-24.

    The Mi-24 makes a small cameo appearance in Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. In a cutscene, a single Leasath Hind is portrayed along with ground forces, as seen in the picture.

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.
