Please Note: This item is to be purchased in store due to its weight and size.

Mi-8MT entered series production at the Kazan Helicopter Plant in 1977. From the following year onwards it was powered by modernised TV3-117MT Series III engines. At first the number of helicopters powered by TV3-117 engines was consider­ably smaller than the number of the preceding versions with TV2-117s, but hostilities in Afghanistan prompted the Soviet military to reconsider their ordering policy, and by the mid-1980s the Mi-8MT and its derivatives became the plant's main product. By 2001 the Kazan plant had turned out more than 3,000 helicopters powered by TV3-117MT and TV3-117VM engines.
