Mil Mi-24 Hind Attack Helicopter: The Devils Chariot Oliver David

This book describes one of the world's longest serving and most widely used military helicopters. Given the codename 'Hind' by NATO in the Cold War years, this fearsome helicopter is also known by other names by those who have either operated it or who had had to deal with it. Developed in the 1960s by the Soviet Union as a fire-support helicopter, more than 2,000 have been produced and continue in production today.

The Hind has also been used operationally in Chad, Nicaragua, Angola, Chechnya, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Mali and Ukraine. The Mujahideen guerrillas described it as the 'Devil's Chariot' during its deployment to Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion and occupation between 1979 and 1989.
