Helo: Mil Mi-2 Hoplite
The Mil Mi-2 is a light Soviet multi-role helicopter, first flown in 1965, designed for transport, training, and light attack missions. Known by NATO as Hoplite, it features a twin-turbine powerplant and a conventional tail rotor. Widely exported, the Mi-2 served in both military and civilian roles across Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia. Its versatility, reliability, and ease of maintenance made it one of the most successful light helicopters of its era.
