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. 

International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2019.

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 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.

Operation CoViD-19: Project Air Bridge, 747s, MD-11s, breaking airlift records!

According to some sources, the largest military airlift to aid silly-vilians (civilians) was the Berlin Airlift from 1948 to 1949.  The largest silly-vilian operated airlift was known as Joint Church Aid (unofficially Jesus Christ Airlines), also known as Biafrian Airlift, from 1967 to 1970.  Launched towards the end of March, Project Air Bridge, in the United States, using both military and civilian aircraft, in my opinion might set a new airlift record.

The ventilators will be equally split for use between the states of New Jersey and New York.

But it’s not just New Jersey and New York that’re getting ventilators delivered by California Air Guard.  Illinois, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington DC, will be splitting another 3-hundred California ventilators.

In this 06APR2020 video interview you’ll learn that the personnel involved in packing and shipping the ventilators had no notice and didn’t even know where the ventilators were being sent to:

U.S. Army/Marines use ‘fake news’ MiG-23 BAT

In 2005, the U.S. Marines, and other NATO members, launched what they called a MiG-23 Bandit, in Egypt.  It was built as a target drone for man-portable Stinger anti-aircraft missile training.

According to the info that came with these pics, five MiG-23 Bandits were launched, and all five were shot down during Exercise Bright Star.

According to the information that was issued with these pics, the MiG-23 Bandits were actually made and operated by a U.S. military contractor; Advanced Composite Manufacturing.  There are several companies and ‘research’ organizations that use the words Advanced Composite Manufacturing in their names.  There is also a company calling itself ACM/Advanced Composite Manufacturing.  None of them have any info about the MiG-23 Bandit.

Florida gets a new Combat King

Just in time for the 2020-2021 hurricane season, a lucky U.S. Air Force Reserve SAR (Search And Rescue) unit in Florida got a brand new HC-130J Super Hercules-Combat King-2.

The first HC-130J for USAF Reserves in Florida, takes off from its birthplace in Marietta, Georgia, 02APR2020.

FL-892 will call Patrick Air Force Base its home, cared for by the 39th Rescue Squadron-920th Rescue Wing.  They are the first, and so far only, Reserve SAR unit to get a new HC-130J.  (they do fly the older models of HC-130 SAR Hercules)

The HC-130J is one of nine versions of the C-130J series, specifically built for SAR and aerial refueling missions.

Video, HC-130Js operated by 23rd Wing out of Nellis AFB, Nevada, arrived at Moody AFB, Georgia, for up-load of equipment and supplies for SAR ops relating to the Hurricane Harvey disaster in 2017 (interesting how the new C-130Js with their new engines and six bladed props still sound like the old C-130s, well almost):
