According to him, they are vulnerable to anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) and other means of air defense.
Knutov noted that the Mi-24, also known as the “Crocodile”, has proven itself in Afghanistan and is capable of providing landing functions and fire support for infantry.
But at the same time, the protection of this model against air defense systems is extremely weak, and its use requires high piloting skills.
Recall that Poland transferred about ten Mi-24 helicopters to Ukraine, although this decision was not officially announced, according to The Wall Street Journal. It is reported that these combat vehicles were sent to support Ukraine in the counterattack.
