@Randy Reneau I'm from the United States, and old enough to remember the Berlin wall being being broken down and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union. We didn't have air raid drills where we hid under our desks after that. I know the era this video is from.
Great video. At 1:39 check out the Artists Concept drawing of what we thought the Mi-28 Havoc would look like. It looks very close to the Apache for the time. I still have all the respect in the world for the Hind. That helicopter terrifies me.
@The Outlaw Torn The communist government of Afghanistan which the US was trying to overthrow, had requested help from the USSR twenty (20) times, in order to fight the mujaheddin. The USSR did see at the time, that if the taliban had it their way, Afghanistan would become a terrorist heaven. Exactly as it happened. Still, it was only after the murder of Nur Muhammad Taraki by the CIA co-operatives Hafizullah Amin and Babrak Karmal, that the USSR decided to intervene. However, the US did not care about terrorism, since giving the USSR a big headache right next to its borders, was exactly the intention. So the US aimed specifically at overthrowing the legitimate government of the country and kept arming the "moderate rebels" (The US always works with "moderate rebels"): 2.bp.blogspot.com/--8Fc9WI0VOA/VBuPHxGbISI/AAAAAAAABDo/8GfAA5xyITg/s1600/taliban-reagan.jpg Here is an article of a 100% Western media, acknowledging in effect how the country was before the US planted the taliban regime: www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3404803/Life-Taliban-Fascinating-photographs-idyllic-Afghanistan-1960s-residents-free-enjoy-outdoor-picnics-colourful-markets.html As you can see, it was a perfectly legitimate and normal Asian country. The length to which the US went to arm the "moderate rebels" and the huge volumes of weaponry provided to them is proven by the fact that the taliban still fight the US for so many years after the US itself invaded Afghanistan in 2001, and still down US helicopters to this day.
You should’ve seen the Soviet concept of what the f117 looked liked in the mid 80s. They literally put wings on a diamond and called it a day. I mean they weren’t far from the truth.
indyjons321 no images or links. I remember this from an early Janes magazine article on how the soviets reacted to desert storm and the effectiveness of the F117. Basically the comment was along the lines of we know how they do it and we have ways to defeat it etc etc, stating the fact that the basis of the shape of the aircraft was postulated by a soviet physicist. From here I can only guess at what place holder silhouette drawings they used in the mid 80s. LoL
not according to gta online. as much as i like the explosive machine gun it takes 12 pistol pops anywhere on the helicopter and it smokes and engine dies in 4 minutes after shutting on and off for a few seconds (even if you shoot the hind through the windows without touching the main helicopter)
Got to hand it to the Syrian Govt for making due with what they have. They even went so far as to take near out of commissioned mig 21s full of armed missiles and used them as improvised explosives as unmanned missiles!
Actually there were two Mi-8 variants dedicated into mine laying roles. Mi-8AD and Mi-8AV. Those could be also with minimal inteventions be placed on any Mi-8 helicopter tho. Americans for an example used M139 Volcano on their helicopters too.
everyone everyone MI-28 is literally flying tank, armed with bmp-2 37 mm cannon in turret and capable of withstanding serious ground fire 12.5-12.7 and even 14.5, 25 mm cannons can’t defeat his armor. Can you tell the same about Apache ?
@@bastionaudio No aircraft is a flying tank. Youl never be able to put on enough armor to make it immune from ground fire. You’re exaggerating how protected these machines are. The hind, with all its armor, has a completely un armored rudder and tail. Nothing can be armored as much as you think and still fly.
helicopter gunship probably isn't as powerful as it was made out to be in the wake of its performance in gulf war, which was a war fought under a combination of factors not likely to replicate itself in later conflicts. Hind got slaughtered by stinger in Afghanistan while even today you hear the US army bitching about airforce's plan to ditch the A10: proliferation of anti-air missiles just make gunship too vulnerable in all but the biggest combined offensives against equal opponent where higher tolerance for casualty and more cover from other platforms might enable it to play its offensive role.
Soviets 1970s: ok America’s weakness in Vietnam was lightly armored helicopters, so we will make ours large, armored and fast. USA 1980s: what do we do with this portable SAM battery?
Soviets had Strella-2 and Igla-1 portable SAM batteries. Strella-2s put Cobras in the trashcan at end of the vietnam war. Also Mi-24 losses were light in the afghan war.The earlier Stingers had such light warheads, it only damaged the aircraft. Many put back into service.
@@vindicare9636 yeah I remember reading that stinger losses were greatly over exaggerated in Afghanistan. They lost a few choppers when the stingers first appeared but they quickly adapted and changed tactics, plus like you say, most were still flyable after taking a bit from those early stingers.
By God, the Hind looks threatening. No wonder the NATO tankers called it 'bogeyman'. Imagine it coming your way, firing its cannon and launching its AT-6 missiles. The NBC filtered, depressurized interior is a cool thing, too.
I am from Poland and I saw many Mi-24D and Mi-24W on air shows. When these machines fly towards you you feel strange emotion..something like fear.. just because of the Looks. You know these ma hines are piloted by your countrymen but still you feel fear.
@Captain Germany This would be true for any helicopter. But also depends on countermeasures, like the footage of Mi-24s in Syria showed, firing constantly flares premptively over enemy territory while operating. What happens without countermeasures shows this Turkish US-"Supercobra" downed by a Russian Igla AA missile by Kurds: ua-cam.com/video/yDNKFHP4nbE/v-deo.html
Don't have too know about the Hind-D. A while back in the year of 2000, the Army National Guard did a 3 week tour in Ukraine and train with the Ukrainian Soldiers. I actually got a chance to see BRDM, BMP-2, and Hind-Ds. The Hind-Ds are really flying tanks and able to transport troops. But if maintenance is not perform properly, they can be a handful.
"occupied" Sure. Learn the history. "Tried to quit" No, it's called "revolution". As for occupation, there was no Soviet contingent in Czechoslovakia until 1968, which was done for reasons unknown, all reasons you are going to find on the internet are just pure estimations and guesses. LMAO, it would be the same as saying that western Europe was occupied by USA. Let's be real.
19Koty96 I think *you* should learn the history. Almost all of Eastern Europe was annexed by the Soviet Union after the second world war. They installed their own governments, occupied the countries with troops and imprisoned and/or murdered all political opposition. There's no arguing, we live in the information age, and it's all out there. There's no excuse for ignorance
DUDE, I LIVE HERE. Your information is flawed. Yes, there was heavy influence, but overall, your informaiton is flawed. Yes, there was military presence of Soviet Union in our countries. Not an "occupation" - not any more than current USA forces in NATO countries. Unless we are talking about surpressing uprisings in Berlin and Hungary - as well as 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia - note - before 1968 there was *no military presence* in here. While you all state that it was since 1945. Also - there is no real information about the reason for 1968 invasion, so you cannot use that as an argument. Also, learn the meaning of the word "annex". Soviets, at least here, never had *direct* influence in this country. You might want to revise that. No, I am not comparing "one of the most tyrannical terror regimes". I am comparing the "military presence". You might want to learn to read. To conclude, stop being ignorant and believing in flawed stereotypes. Eastern bloc countries were not "slave countries". Yes, there was heavy influence. But not slave-ship.
Slave states is definitely too far. If you know much about the Soviet Republic you know that it wasn't that bad. The whole reason the Soviet union collapsed is because it gave its republics too much self-determination and freedom in politics.
Do you prefer to be rescued from hostile area by heavily armored and fully armed Mi-24 or by paperbag UH60A with machineguns (transport version)? Same era, about the same personel carrying capability.
A giant stands on the shoulders of those who came before him and builds greater pillars with those which others can stand on, the true test and measure of a giant.

1:38 HAH So back then they totally thought the mi-28 havoc would look jut like the US Apache attack helicopter, I wonder if the apache was a response to the Hind? I guess this is what they thought before it was known that the mi-28 Havoc would look more or less like the Hind with upgraded angular cockpit instead of the bubble canopy,
What the... Mi-28 shares almost nothing whatsoever with Mi-24... actually it looks far more like the drawing rather than Mi-24... Are you sure you know what Mi-28 looks like?
The Hind and Mi-28 do not look alike at all other than the pilot sitting above and behind the gunner, which was borrowed from the AH-1 Cobra. The Hind has a capacity of troop carrying, which was almost never used, especially in Afghanistan, where the high altitude meant that the helicopter couldn't produce max power.
Supes Me I was a 13B10 cannon crewman 85-87. They used to push identification of NATO vs. Warsaw pact so you didn't shoot at your guys and so you knew where to aim at em. Tanks to. Had cards they would question you on while in the field from time to time. Also in Basic they'd have those cards in the chow line. If you didn't know you had to go to the back of the line.
People dislike it saying talking about stingers this and that but I’m sorry but in a full large scale war with the Soviet Union 1970-80 the whole combination of combined arms the Soviet Union could wield would of been terrifying everyone knows that if the soviets invaded in Europe west Germany would of fell.
Afghanistan is a tough place to fly helicopters because it is "hot, high & dusty", the three things that suck the lifting capacity out of a chopper. During the Soviet invasion, the Hind had such trouble with the environment it couldn't hover while carrying weapons or infantry, and it needed a running start & rolling landing to safely operate. This meant it had to attack ground targets like a plane--in a big long bombing run--and couldn't dodge ground fire or missiles worth a damn while doing so. I am absolutely not suggesting the Huey or the Cobra (or even the Apache) would have done much better with 70's technology. Even today the US struggles with their helicopters in Afghanistan. But you are 100% correct: once Stinger missiles came into theatre, the Hind became a flying coffin and the pilots were angry, demoralized and ineffective.
@@gastonbell108 Yeah, it's kind of non-intuitive, speaking as someone who's never dealt with a similar situation personally or professionally. The thin air at high altitudes causes loss of power and control for aircraft and it affects rotary-wing craft performance first and most accutely. It's why people die on Mt. Everest even today, because it's not a simple operation to just send a helicopter to pick them up. Makes perfect sense when you think about it though. You can think of it as the difference between swimming in water, or trying to swim in the air. Water gives you something to bite into and push back against, while the air doesn't. Well, it does, but it's so thin you'd need to move your arms at thousands of rpm to feel the traction. If you straped a jet engine or a propeller to your ass, or perhaps consumed an appropriate quantity of taco-bell, you could produce thrust like a fixed wing aircraft and operate more effectively as an aircraft, at the expense of being able to tread water, aka hover.
@@gastonbell108 And not US companies are scamming the Afghan government by selling them MD-6 helos that are completely unfit to serve in Afghanistan. They can barely take of without any load at higher altitudes. Gib Cobra / Viper or G.T.F.O.
@@black10872 yeah the red army beaten the shit out of finland and the only reason they retreated from Afghanistan was because of social unrest. And look at Afghanistan now. The red army didn't fight in chechnya, the Union already dissolved at that point.
The scary thing about the Mi24 hind, it had enough fire power to take out a tank column and any accompanying infantry, carry a squad of fully geared troops, enough armor to withstand heavy machine gun fire from even 12.7×108mm or 50 cals and even small auto cannons and able to fly over 320kmph , insane for 1970 technology. Most modern attack choppers cant do half of this reliably
Up to 1940 the Russians was very primitive when it comes to the army they didn't even have a helicopter force but look at them now, one of the best fighter force on the planet...
Hind is still the best looking and most scary attack helo till date
Ever heard of havoc?

The Hind and Mi-28 do not look alike at all other than the pilot sitting above and behind the gunner, which was borrowed from the AH-1 Cobra. The Hind has a capacity of troop carrying, which was almost never used, especially in Afghanistan, where the high altitude meant that the helicopter couldn't produce max power.
Good old days of the USSR
What's more dangerous than an Mi-24? An Mi-24 manned by Soviet pilots!
A stinger used by farmers. Checkmate B)
@@madlad2819 That would scare an Mi-24 pilot, if I were inside a tank a Stinger would do nothing to scare me :/
American in the 60s knew kilometres,
What's a kilometer?
@@alanhowitzer 2.2 miles just like a kilogram is 2.2 lbs
1 mile is 1609m
Man they undersold the hind. Next to an apache the best helo.
What year is this from?
Looks to be from I would say 1983 judging by the film quality.
*le hip takes off*
Stinger missiles: food, glorious food!
From which year is this?
late 70s or early 80s
before soviet union invaded afganistan
Venom Snake the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan started in 1979. So if your information is correct than should this video be from the 1970s.
@@loopdelooperlouis5541 yeah it look likes that
@@loopdelooperlouis5541 i didnt see any footage of the dessert or any mountain areas that looked like afganistan so it must before the invasion.
Could you imagine showing this to say, Napoleon Bonaparte?
He'd be like: "Que c'est un Soviet? Je ne parlez Anglais."
Impresive
14:52 - what the hell is happening to this Helicopter..😅😅
HAHAHAHAHA
Any american troops in specific this film was made for? Like air crews? Or just everyone in general?
Supes Me I was a 13B10 cannon crewman 85-87. They used to push identification of NATO vs. Warsaw pact so you didn't shoot at your guys and so you knew where to aim at em. Tanks to. Had cards they would question you on while in the field from time to time. Also in Basic they'd have those cards in the chow line. If you didn't know you had to go to the back of the line.
Any idea on whos the narrator ?
Everybody Mullah... er... I mean gansta.. until the Comrade Hind shows up.
Lot of ČSLA helicopters :-)
Czeck?
@@alanhowitzer still Czechoslovak :-D
@@saderuscz The Czech Republic is a nice place.
Think god you didn't face off with our Soviet Union
kgb85MD thank god you did not face off with the U.S.
*WOLVERINES* !!!!!!
People dislike it saying talking about stingers this and that but I’m sorry but in a full large scale war with the Soviet Union 1970-80 the whole combination of combined arms the Soviet Union could wield would of been terrifying everyone knows that if the soviets invaded in Europe west Germany would of fell.
Azrakul Returns I said would off twice and there is nothing wrong with using it in the context I did.
16:24 the BGM ... haha
Ok..how did us army get a hold of this video?
Someone in an eastern block country sold it for good money to CIA agents.
There may be many Mi-24 Hind helicopters..but you only need one John Rambo.
На что сняли?
I’d still rather have an ah64 this thing looks nasty and it is .. but it’s not on the level of the Apache
Afghanistan grave yard of Soviet helicopters
Could've been american as well.
Neither USA nor USSR got nothing . Even Afghan got nothing. Only pakisthan got frrebies to their mercenaries.
Afghanistan is a tough place to fly helicopters because it is "hot, high & dusty", the three things that suck the lifting capacity out of a chopper. During the Soviet invasion, the Hind had such trouble with the environment it couldn't hover while carrying weapons or infantry, and it needed a running start & rolling landing to safely operate. This meant it had to attack ground targets like a plane--in a big long bombing run--and couldn't dodge ground fire or missiles worth a damn while doing so.
I am absolutely not suggesting the Huey or the Cobra (or even the Apache) would have done much better with 70's technology. Even today the US struggles with their helicopters in Afghanistan. But you are 100% correct: once Stinger missiles came into theatre, the Hind became a flying coffin and the pilots were angry, demoralized and ineffective.
@@gastonbell108 Yeah, it's kind of non-intuitive, speaking as someone who's never dealt with a similar situation personally or professionally. The thin air at high altitudes causes loss of power and control for aircraft and it affects rotary-wing craft performance first and most accutely. It's why people die on Mt. Everest even today, because it's not a simple operation to just send a helicopter to pick them up.
Makes perfect sense when you think about it though. You can think of it as the difference between swimming in water, or trying to swim in the air.
Water gives you something to bite into and push back against, while the air doesn't.
Well, it does, but it's so thin you'd need to move your arms at thousands of rpm to feel the traction.
If you straped a jet engine or a propeller to your ass, or perhaps consumed an appropriate quantity of taco-bell, you could produce thrust like a fixed wing aircraft and operate more effectively as an aircraft, at the expense of being able to tread water, aka hover.
@@gastonbell108 And not US companies are scamming the Afghan government by selling them MD-6 helos that are completely unfit to serve in Afghanistan. They can barely take of without any load at higher altitudes. Gib Cobra / Viper or G.T.F.O.
The Soviet helicopter threat was real, AND IT WENT AWAY!
Andrew Tubbiolo yea because today no Heli is safe
The Soviet threat never goes away. It just waits for the other side to get comfortable
And none of you have a combat patch. Good training though lol
The strongest army in the world. Glory to the Soviet Union.
The Afgans, Chechens, and Finnish would strongly disagree with that comment.
@@black10872 yeah the red army beaten the shit out of finland and the only reason they retreated from Afghanistan was because of social unrest. And look at Afghanistan now.
The red army didn't fight in chechnya, the Union already dissolved at that point.
@@elihentai8242 not according to the casualties.😂😂
Why do you glorify a dictatorical, tyrannical regime, in which people are mere peons, without freedom of expression and thinking?
back in the days when the Soviet had superior air and land power, aircrafts and tanks to the US
The scary thing about the Mi24 hind, it had enough fire power to take out a tank column and any accompanying infantry, carry a squad of fully geared troops, enough armor to withstand heavy machine gun fire from even 12.7×108mm or 50 cals and even small auto cannons and able to fly over 320kmph , insane for 1970 technology. Most modern attack choppers cant do half of this reliably
It’s one of those Soviet era weapons that won’t disappear anytime soon.
no
425 km at 320 km/h? It sounds so not efficient!
Maybe not at 300
Tank size has nothing to do with efficiency.
@@JAnx01 ?? hes talking about the range of one of the transport helicopters
@Eric Sales tank? 320 km/h ?
Us army ppl supposed to know how fast is 200km/h?
What's km/h?
Soviet helicopters.... then showing 90%movie from Czechoslovakia :D
Well, they had soviet equipment
It was close enough to Germany, they could record them flying around over the border.
Nice 4K 60 FPS DTS 7.1 surround sound!
For a war that never happened.
Sovi-yet
Up to 1940 the Russians was very primitive when it comes to the army they didn't even have a helicopter force but look at them now, one of the best fighter force on the planet...
Yeah...and the Americans had such a splendid helicopter fleet back in '30s and up to 1940...
2x 1500 Horse power.......well it was 2200 :)
Their only weakness are sober pilots.
Not a clue , Superior Russian Design.
Hind super
For comparison: here is the Soviet movie on helicopter combat - ua-cam.com/video/zdH5kShvyYc/v-deo.html
Ahhh, the helicopter that American stole with their helicopter lol
Fuerza Aerea Sandinista.
Each hind comes equipped with a vodka bottle holder.
Anyone know how the Chinese fight? We got a problem with them in Natuna islands
I love Behind series but the Apache is so much more deadly and it's only 1/4 the size
Fighting fighting fighting need more fightingdot some people send blankets or water, just send your cash
His saying M I instead of Mee, or Me, gives me cancer.
The Mi-24 hind looks like ass...
13:29
They throw a lot of men at the enemy.
India. Sport. Russia
Allway,s. Time.
Same thing brother, we can build something great together
