Mil Mi-24 Hind
« on: January 28, 2012, 01:20:41 PM »
A thread for any and all Mi-24 Hind ideas!

------------------

Mil Mi-24CA "MishKa" by "Soosnik" on www.scalemodels.ru. A couple more pics of this wonderful kit-bash can be found HERE.



I believe Greg knocked up a similar profile a while back.

-----------------

Something that caught my fancy lately is a Hind equipped with AAMs for anti-air operations. I figure should it ever have come to the Cold War going hot in Central Europe, a couple of Hinds equipped for anti-air operations would've been a decent idea, both offensively and defensively. Covering armour operations by going after NATO's tank-busters (Cobras, Lynxes, Bo-105s,...) or protecting Soviet helo assault groups from NATO aircraft, such as German Alpha Jets (which were supposed to go after soviet helicopters). For the air-to-air role, I want to equip a Mi-24V with UPK-230-250 twin 23mm gun pods on the inner pylons (hard-hitting cannons are always a good idea) and twin (maybe whiffed triple?) R-60/AA-8 Aphids on APU-60-II launchers on the outer wing pylons and two more R-60s in place of the wingtip ATGM launchers (as below). The APU-60-II launcher is for two R-60s, but it looks like it could easily handle a third one.

Here's something that was done as a prank by Czech armourers. The launchers are usually for the AT-2 Swatter ATGM and aren’t wired for use with R-60s. Looks credible enough, though.


From THIS THREAD

These two below are are not pranks, but the real deal!

Mi-35M with quad SA-7/14/16/18 launcher on the outboard pylon:


SOURCE with much bigger pic

Same launcher on the inboard pylon, just not stacked as in the pic above.  Probably the same Mi-35M demonstrator at different times (note different sensor fit).


A single twin launcher as in the pic above is supplied with Zvezda’s excellent 1/72 Mi-35M kit. Why just one? Beats me!

As am I!  The sensors and slaved guns pointing in different directions give them a sinister, Skynet-esque look.

Wouldn't take too much more effort to take it even closer to Piasecki's X-49A concept.  that could get interesting.

For that matter, the X-49A as it is could provide some good raw material to whif from a Sikorsky H-60/S-70 basic stock.

Actually have a Hind on the build list... only WHIF is the paint job, though. (In a gun-board buddy's Monster Hunter International series, the heroes use a disarmed Hind--payment from the Kazakh government for removing a tribe of Orcs, one of whom flies the thing--as their ride out to Undead outbreaks.)
