Re: IAF Akbar
The Mil Mi-24 is a large helicopter gunship, attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. About the IAF Akbar Role Attack helicopter with transport capabilities National origin Soviet Union/Russia Manufacturer Mil First flight 19 September 1969 Introduction 1972 Status In service Primary users Russian Air Force Produced 1969–present Number built 2,300 (estimated) Developed from Mil Mi-8 Mil Mi-25 / Mi-35 [Hind] Akbar The IAF currently operates two Mi-25/35 Helicopter Squadrons (No.104 Firebirds and No.125 Gladiators) and has a requirement for at least another unit. SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) reports that 15 helicopters of this type were ordered from Kyrgyzstan in 1994 and were delivered by 1995. The designation is uncertain (Mi-25 or Mi-35) and is apparently second-hand/re-furbished helicopters. The first unit to fly the Mi-25s was No.125 Helicopter Squadron, "The Gladiators", raised in November 1983. This was followed by No.104 Squadron, "Pioneer Rotarians aka Firebirds", in 1990.
