About the Game

Experience a rush of adrenaline by climbing into the cockpit of the Mi-24 Hind, the most highly armored, heavily armed, and fiercest helicopter gunship of the Eastern Bloc. Experience sets of missions, including troop deployment, troop drops, and pickups based on actual Russian army activity. You can even see 3D animated models of Mujaheddin guerrillas as they lift SA-7s to their shoulders, ready to fire. Get a taste of what it's like to fly against the best that Uncle Sam offers. With Hind’s varying difficulty levels, from free-for-all arcade mode to a highly detailed mission planner, it’s the perfect helicopter simulation game for the accomplished gamer and the novice pilot. So, Komrade, it is time to strap yourself into the cockpit and find out why this helicopter is called the "Flying Tank,” да?
