| The combat version of the Mi-17-1V helicopter is armed with rockets, guns and bombs, suspended on six BD3-57KRVM Bomb Racks. The rockets are used to engage area and group targets including armoured and concrete-reinforced installations. The rockets are housed in four B8V20 Pods with 20 S-8 Rockets in each. The helicopter can carry four UPK-23-250 Gun Pods with 23 mm GSh-23L Guns to engage ground and air targets. The 50-500 kg bombs also are used for visual day/night delivery on targets. To protect the front and rear hemispheres the helicopter is armed with PKT Machine Gun with electric feed and remote fire control. Eight swivel mounts also can be installed to deliver fire from individual weapons. The helicopter can be fitted with active and passive ECM equipment to jam missile homing seekers. There are also IR suppressers installed over engine exhaust ducts. The helicopter has armour plates fitted to protect the crew from gun and machine gun fire. Armour plates cover the floor, front and rear hemispheres, rear part of the crew cabin, weapon operator floor and cargo cabin hinged doors of the fuselage. To enhance and widen its capabilities, the Mi-17-1V transport version is fitted with removable equipment to ensure search and rescue operations, extinguish fires, participate in parachute/training competitions and carry out aerophotography. |
