A Soviet Giant Takes Flight

Originally introduced to Soviet Air Force service in 1967, the Mil Mi-8 quickly cemented its place as one of the most successful military helicopters in aviation history. With more than 17,000 airframes produced and in service with over 50 nations, this medium-lift, twin-turbine transport became a global phenomenon. In DCS: Mi-8MTV2, Belsimtek recreates the armed Mi-8 variant—NATO codename “Hip E”—so you can experience firsthand why it’s called the Magnificent Eight.

Potent Firepower and Heavy Loads

Far from just a transport platform, the Mi-8MTV2’s six external hardpoints can carry up to 6,000 kg of ordnance, including bombs up to 500 kg, 23 mm and 30 mm gun pods, and 80 mm rocket pods with a capacity of 120 rounds. Door-pintle-mounted 12.7 mm heavy machine guns can also be fitted, turning the “Hip E” into a formidable gunship. Whether you’re lifting cargo or engaging hostile forces, this helicopter excels at adapting to any battlefield scenario.

Battle-Tested Around the Globe

Known for its toughness and reliability, the Mi-8 series saw extensive use during the 1979–1989 Soviet–Afghan War, where it proved itself a resilient troop transport and rocket platform in harsh conditions. The Mi-8’s multi-role versatility has taken it to conflict zones worldwide, cementing its reputation as a rugged, go-anywhere, do-anything helicopter. Even decades later, the Mi-8 remains a frontline workhorse in numerous armed forces.
