Vehicle I-D: Mil 24 Hind ‘Satan’s Chariots’, Cold War and beyond

Mil Mi-24/25/35, NATO reporting name Hind.

From a U.S. Army vehicle identification poster, September 1981.

Russian news media propaganda report on Mi-24P (30mm guns) and Ka-52 action in Ukraine, October 2022:

This is a Ukrainian Mi-24V, supposedly of those donated by NATO Czech Republic.

In August 2022, Russia revoked licensed Mil helicopter operations for NATO-Czech Republic and NATO-Bulgaria, after they donated Hinds to Ukraine. 

In August 2022, Brazil flew its 12 Mi-35M4s for the last time, officially.  Brazil calls its Hinds the AH-2 Saber.  Brazil has been operating Saber-Hinds since at least 2011.  Local news media reports say the high cost of maintaining them was exacerbated by recent U.S./NATO sanctions on Russia.

Video from June 2022, Russian ‘Z’ Hinds (Mi-35M, with 23mm guns in the chin-turret), somewhere over Ukraine:

In May 2022, NATO Czech republic claims to have given Ukraine some of their Mi-24Vs.

March 2022: Hinds with invasion stripes?

In December 2021, a video appeared claiming to show rebels in Yemen now have a usable Hind helicopter:

In August 2021, Taliban took control of donated Mi-35 helicopters, after the sudden withdrawal of U.S./NATO forces from Afghanistan.  See more about the more than four decades long love affair the Afghans have for ‘Satan’s Chariot’ in ZOMBIE ‘COPTER: HOW THE HIND RETURNED TO AFGHANISTAN (with the help of NATO), AND WHY IT WON’T DIE.

In June 2021, U.S. Army AH-64 Apaches and NATO-Bulgarian Hinds took part in a joint Apache-Hind wargame, supposedly for the first time.

In August 2020, Rostec State Corporation’s Russian Helicopters division announced it will begin mass-production of its new export Hind, the Mi-35P. 

Belarussian Mi-24.

At the beginning of August 2020, Belarus claimed that NATO-Lithuania invaded its territory.  The ‘invasion’ was stopped with the help of Belarusian Mi-24s.

In June 2020, Kazakhstan received four new-build Mi-35Ms.  Kazakhstan now has 12 Mi-35Ms.

Libyan ‘Haftar’ Mi-35.

In April 2020, it was reported that an Mi-35, used by the ‘Haftar’ forces in Libya, was shot down, the crew was killed.  It should be noted that the Haftar forces (aka Libyan National Forces) are supported by both Russia and NATO-France!  The 2011 NATO instigated civil war in Libya never ended!

In August 2019, Russia announced it is upgrading its Mi-24Ps to Mi-24P1M standards.

The Mi-24P1M will have the latest electronics, including an anti-aircraft missile launch warning system. The ‘1M’ version will also be several hundred kilograms lighter in weight.

In the NATO ‘west’, export versions of Mil 24 are also known as Mil 25 or 35, depending on the accessories (or who is writing the report).

The Mil 24 is called Hind by NATO, there is no official name in Russia but crews have used many nicknames for it.  In Afghanistan it’s known as Satan’s Chariot.  NATO video report from 2012:

The above photo shows three Mi-24 Hind-Ds, of the newly independent Czech Republic (now known as Czechia), attending an air show in NATO-Italy, July 1996.  The Czech Republic joined NATO in 1999.

The U.S. Army captured an almost intact Iraqi Hind-D, during Desert Storm, January 1991.

The U.S. Army first started flying the Mil 24 in the early 1990s, after French and Chadian forces seized an abandoned Libyan Mil 25 Hind-D in 1987.  The helicopter was flown to the U.S. onboard a C-5 Galaxy in 1988.

The Hind-D was based at Fort Bliss, Texas.  It was routinely deployed to Fork Polk, Louisiana, to play the part of the enemy, or Opposition Force (OpFor) in wargames.

This 1995 U.S. Army photo shows the Hind-D equipped with Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems (MILES) ‘laser-tag’ wargame device on the chin-gun.  It has Tasmanian Devil nose art.

Beginning in the early 1980s, the U.S. Army used Huey helicopters to represent Hinds!

In 1968 the Soviet Union ordered a new helicopter, combining transport and gunship capabilities.  By June 1970, what would become the Mil 24 was accepted for testing.  The Mil 24A officially began service in 1972.

“The California National Guard has had a professional relationship with Ukraine since 1993, and that’s when we did our first combined training exercise with them. At this point, I think there have been about 4-hundred engagements that we’ve had with the Ukrainian Armed Forces over 24 years.”-Brigadier General Kelly Fisher, California National Guard

It’s been revealed that the Obama regime backed coup in Ukraine was possibly in the planning since at least 1993 (the idea got rolling immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991).

Within a few years of the Soviet Union collapse, the United States put into operation the State Partnership Program. Under this program the metro-sexual state of California was assigned the responsibility of winning over the military of Ukraine (currently being referred to as ‘defensive reforms’).

Under the State Partnership Program U.S. taxpayers are paying for National Guard units to mentor the militaries of 79 countries, in the name of national security, but with admittedly “broader” objectives.

According to the latest statements by the Department of Defense, the California-Ukraine partnership is considered one of the most important under the U.S. European Command, and all you happy taxpayers are paying for it.

False Flag: U.S.-NATO puppet Ukraine supplied North Korea with ICBM engines!

“It’s likely that these engines came from Ukraine, probably illicitly. The big question is how many they have and whether the Ukrainians are helping them now. I’m very worried.”-Michael Elleman, International Institute for Strategic Studies

It’s been revealed that the U.S.-NATO puppet government of Ukraine might have supplied the engines for the latest Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, aka North Korea) ballistic missile design.

Two days after a New York Times story officials with the Ukrainian government run missile company Yuzhmash admitted the engines looked a lot like their own RD-250 design.  Some news reports say Ukrainian space agency director Yurii Radchenko admitted the North Korean Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) was powered by the RD-250.

Yuzhmash used to make money selling engines to Russia, but that stopped after the Obama regime led coup in 2014.  It’s suspected the financially struggling state run company is making money on the ‘black market’.

This is not the first time a DPRK ICBM was discovered to have parts made by NATO allies or even the United States.  In 2014, unnamed South Korean government sources revealed that a recovered North Korean missile had electronics that were made in Europe and the United States!  The missile was recovered in 2012.

The U.S. Army is going to Ukrainian grade schools under the guise of teaching the importance of nutrition, hygiene, exercise, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, however they always end up talking about landmines/unexploded ordinance (UXO).  It’s because of the ever expanding U.S. empire, specifically the growing number of U.S. military live-fire training operations.  Here’s a boring video about it.  The true reason for the U.S. Army public relations ops with Ukrainian schools is revealed during the badly done interviews with U.S. military personnel:

“We do not spread rumors!”-Alexander Hug, OSCE

The U.S. and Soviet created OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) held a press conference that no news media in the U.S. led NATO ‘west’ were interested in.  In Donetsk, OSCE vice chairman Alexander Hug slammed NATO controlled Ukraine for constantly violating the Minsk ceasefire agreement, and praised the spirit of the people living in the areas sometimes known as Novorussia (New Russia).

33 minute OSCE press conference in which numerous ceasefire incidents are described, and the establishment of OSCE observation bases with security cameras was revealed:

OSCE was created more than 40 years ago after meetings between the U.S. and USSR.  Today 57 countries, including countries not in Europe, fund and support the OSCE.

Under the guise of “strengthen governance….at local, regional and central levels…” the European Union (which is not supposed to be a political union, it’s officially an economic union only) will force taxpayers (mainly from Germany and Poland) to fork out the equivalent of $97.6-million USD for a new attempted NATO propaganda putsch to capture the ‘hearts & minds’ of local governments in Ukraine.

The pathetic OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) said they would deal with the escalating NATO supported violence by installing additional security cameras at the airport! Small arms fire reported in Sahanka, Zaichenko and Sosnowski.
