Frag Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, let's put in place a small scenario. A Hind has for mission to escort two MI-8 full of troops heading to a hot landing zone. Someone here knows how the Russians would officially do this? Would the hind be few kilometers if front opening the path? Or it would stick with the MI-8 in formation and respond to an attack? Would the MI-8 tell the Hind where to hit? Briefly, I am interested in the logistic of the Hind used as an escort of transport choppers. I get the general idea, but I am interested in the details of how they would fly this out. Edited June 10, 2021 by Frag 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frag Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Holy hell! Lot of views and not much replies. I guess the Russians were able to keep their escort tactics in the shade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetly They're refering to the Mi-24D with the older 9M17 Phalanga missiles when they are refering to PALR but you'd just have increased range with the 9k114 Shturms. Still completly viable though with the Mi-24P we are getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
