Designed and developed by the Mil Moscow Helicopter company in 1972 and ordered by the Soviet Air Force, the Mi-24 is used in Russia and more than 30 other countries around the world – including NATO countries.

In October 2007, the Russian Air Force announced that it would replace 250 existing Mi-24 aircraft with 300 modern Mi-38 fighter aircraft or, if possible, K-50 aircraft by 2015.
