Overview

The Mi-17 Hip-H is a medium twin-turbine utility helicopter produced by Kazan Helicopters, combining the airframe of the Mi-8 with upgraded engines. Powered by two Klimov TV3-117MT turboshafts each producing 1,454 kW, it lifts 4,000 kg internally or 5,000 kg externally.

Its excellent performance at altitude and in hot conditions makes it well-suited for operations in the Caucasus mountain environment.
