Though not a true attack helicopter the Hind is a frighteningly effective jack of all trades. It isn't as agile as some smaller helicopters, but it is very fast and excels at it's usual task of delivering a squad of soldiers to a drop zone and supporting them while they deploy. To enable it to do this the large internal cabin sits between long wings which offload the main rotors in high speed flight. The wings also have 3 hard points each for slinging a mixture of rockets or guided missiles. This particular variant of the Hind has a fixed large calibre cannon in the nose. A common feature of Russian helicopters are the particle separators shielding the engine intakes. Required for the harsh environments the Hind operates in.
