Mi-8MT (modernized transport) is a multi-purpose medium-class helicopter, an upgraded version of the Mi-8T helicopter. The helicopter is equipped with 2200hp TVZ-117MT engines, an AI-9V auxiliary power unit, the tail rotor was moved to the port side, and many structural elements were also improved. The flight speed of the Mi-8MT increased to 250 km / h, the ceiling - up to 5000 m, the range - up to 600 km. The increased power-to-weight ratio made it possible to significantly increase firepower by increasing the onboard mounted weapons, as well as to increase the maneuverability of the vehicle. To counter surface-to-air missiles, there are systems for dispersing hot engine gases, shooting false thermal targets and generating pulsed IR signals. Mi-8 and its modifications, the most massive twin-engine helicopter in the world (in total, more than 17 thousand copies of all modifications were built); is the most massive helicopter in the history of aviation.
