Scramble Magazine 430 - March 2015 Back Issue

This month features a special about:

- Rostov-built Export Mi-24s 1978-2008
The Mi-24 was built by two factories: Factory No. 116 (later
renamed “Progress”) at Arsenyev, situated some 120 km
north-east of Vladivostok, and Factory No. 68 at Rostov-on-
Don (later renamed “Rostvertol”). It was the latter factory
which produced the export Mi-24s (in addition to Mi-24s for
the Soviet Armed Forces), and we have received a list containing
most of the helicopters which were built for export.
This list contains construction numbers, line numbers and
manufacture dates, but sadly no serials. Unfortunately, the
list does not include all Mi-24s built for export - Mi-24As,
early export Mi-24Ps and post-2008 production are missing.
Not covered either are the Mi-24s which were built for the
Soviet Armed Forces and exported second-hand after the
demise of the Soviet Union.
