Talk:Mil Mi-24/Archive 2

I propose this merger as the Mil Mi-PSV is merely a variant of the Mi-24--Petebutt (talk) 14:01, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

There is a variants page, which would be a better resting place - Mil Mi-24 variants--Petebutt (talk) 10:43, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose - no articles for merging specified in this section. - BilCat (talk) 14:17, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Merge carried out to Mil Mi-24 variants--Petebutt (talk) 07:24, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Iraq bought Mi-35M and used it in combat. It's the same version used by Pakistan, Brazil, Venezuela which are included in the operators section. 208.72.125.2 (talk) 14:02, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Iraq and the Iraq Army are listed in the "Operators" and "Operational history" sections. See Mil Mi-24#Operators and Mil Mi-24#Operational history -Fnlayson (talk) 14:32, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

the section concerning use of MI24 in the Iraq / Iraninan war has a misleading reference to a mi 24 shooting down a F4 with unguided missiles, the citation for this appears to be a Russian document (number 27) An English language site has an analysis of this incident, I quote in full

"The closest any IrAAC Mi-25 ever came to doing something of this kind was in January 1981, during the Battle of Susangerd, when a Mi-25 armed with four Scorpion missiles and four UV-32-57 pods by accident confronted an Iranian F-4 Phantom that was attacking Iraqi ground forces. The gunner in the front cockpit of the Iraiq helicopter took notice of the approaching F-4, sighting the smoke from its engines, and notified the pilot: he then unleashed all of 132 rockets calibre 57mm towards the Iranian fighter that flew at low level, and perpendicular to his flight pt. The Iraqi pilot never claimed he had shot the Iranian fighter, nor had any other Iraqi sources claimed anything similar – until the report in Baghdad Observer, over a year later."

The source 27 I think is not be regarded as a trusted site.

In the see also section "Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era" are mentioned, the Mil Mi-24 has different versions introduced in different eras. From which era should the helicopters mentioned in "Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era" be? FSbiran (talk) 08:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
