A Soviet/Russian multi-purpose helicopter developed by the M. L. Mil OKB in the early 1960s. It is the most massive twin-engine helicopter in the world, and is also included in the list of the most massive helicopters in the history of aviation. It is widely used in many countries of the world to perform a variety of civil and military tasks. As of 2014, it is the second most common military helicopter in the world (after the BELL UH-1 Iroquois). The modernization of the Mi-8 helicopter, which was completed in 1980, led to the creation of an improved version of this machine - the Mi-8MT ("88" product, when supplied for export - the Mi-17), which is distinguished by an improved power plant (2 engines TV3- 117) ) and the presence of an auxiliary power plant.
