product description:
The Mi-8MT series began production at the Kazan Helicopter Factory in 1977. Aircraft produced after this year are equipped with more modern TV3-117MT engines. At first, the production of these TV3-117-engined helicopters was lower than that of previous models equipped with TV2-117 series engines, but as the war in Afghanistan progressed, the Soviet army began to reconsider the production of this type of aircraft. The -8MT and its extensions became mainstream in the production schedule. As of 2001, the Kazan Helicopter Plant has produced more than 3,000 helicopters equipped with TV3-117MT and TV3-117VM engines.

In 1981, the Mi-8MT made its public debut at the 34th Paris Air Show. For advertising and external sales reasons, the export model was given the designation Mi-17, which had six external hardpoints. Can mount missiles, bombs, small arms and cannons.
