Mi-171A3 and flights over the seas

[@cyonfr1458]

It is amazing to see the Mi-8's core design still being improved upon decades later. Great video, thank you for sharing!

[@tonywilliams8426]

You dont mess with success, pity the Seaking family has been retired, but the S92s a sort of seaking, just more like the OLD USAF HH3E, THE ORIGINAL JOLLY GREEN GIANT of the Vietnam era,, .....

[@icarus_falling]

@@tonywilliams8426 there are some still flying... apparantly Peru just got 6 of them for $600....

[@utkarshg.bharti9714]

It's the most reliable helicopter in its category. Sturdy, cheap, rugged, reliable.

[@LegioXXVV]

I wish the Mi-171A3 every success!

[@Aeronaut1975]

As a DCS user, I was never interested in the Mi-8, I always used to think "why would people want to fly that?!", but I begrudgingly purchased it to fly with a friend and I was hooked within 5 mins. It's SOO much fun to fly! It may be a bit of a cow, but it can dance! great Helo! (Crew Campaign Missions are fantastic).

One of the reason why newer Russian helicopter, planes etc, doesn't sell very well because the older one already good enough. This helicopter probably make Mi 38 pretty difficult to sell.

[@Jack-yv2xu]

Dude take a look at the Ukrainian war, even the newest Russian stuff is comparable to 1980s nato equipment. All Russian equipment is shit. Even the AK series is shit, the M16 was proven to be more reliable in tests

[@davidmurphy8190]

The Mi171A3 appears to meet the requirements of users. The Mi-38 does not seem to be in competition with the Mi-171A3. So if components from one production line benefit another line, isn’t that for the best?

[@Posttrip]

Having the foundation of the legendary Mi-8 will put this modification on solid ground. It looks great and will be as rugged and reliable as it’s predecessors. I’d like to to see it do well in international sales.

[@skyem5250]

"Just flying no longer works. Now we need safety." This is so funny but also so true if you look at the history of aviation lol

[@americanrambler4972]

Amazing what a bright orange paint job and a new pointy nose will do to the looks of this helicopter. I have always found Russian designed and made helicopters fascinating because of their very individual very Russian look and design. And many of them are very first rate for the missions they are intended to perform.

[@johnmcqueen4883]

“Stylish, fashionable and youthful appearance” - it’s a beautiful craft! It’s probably too advanced/complicated/expensive for commercial passenger use, maybe they could slap those stylish, fashionable and youthful looks on simpler equipment. I’d get on it in a second! Thanks for your usual informative and entertaining piece.

[@LongTran-em6hc]

No, there is the mounting for such fan, 1 each side. What is more of an crime is that there is no 9 lines of switches on the overhead of the cockpit. What a shame

Russian Mi-8 (Mi-17) helicopters are internationally considered reliable all weather workhorses. Arctic operation capabilities in particular would be appreciated by the energy industry. Both competitors and customers alike are undoubtedly waiting for the serial production models to appear.

Good video. But the Mi-8 cannot be an eternal basis, even it will someday become obsolete. Are they make new helicopters?

[@LongTran-em6hc]

Nyet, helicopter is fine

[@tonieistotne9471]

the funny thing is that they made a new one. The Mi-38, designed at the turn of the 1990s, was supposed to be more expensive but much better. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the project was delayed, a problem arose when, when the helicopter was ready, it turned out to be much better than the Mi-8. In the versions from the late 1980s, no one expected how much modernization potential these machines had. To cut a long story short, it turns out that it is only slightly better than the modernized Mi-8, but still much more expensive

[@shainemaine1268]

[@milllone1511]

Why does the tail rotor looks like that?

[@rayw.cunningham8643]

Flew on a MI-8 about 40 years ago. Found that the aircraft had a lot vibration in it. Watching the tail section wobble during flight made it a very interesting flight especially when the tail rotor hit the fuselage. We did make a safe roll on landing on a taxi way. When the pilots had on parachutes it made me wonder if the aircraft was safe to fly. Then to watch this remake of a older aircraft design with its upgrades, watching this aircraft flying and seeing the stability in flight, oh what a beautiful aircraft. I have flown on many helicopters from different manufacturers and made some parachute jumps from them. It sure would have been nice to make a jump from the MI-8.

[@TocTeplv]

Pilots with parachutes in a heli? And you were able to see a tail rotor out off a window (never mind it hitting something without deforming or cutting off tail boom, lol) Are you a lier or are you a russia hating propagandist?

[@rayw.cunningham8643]

@@TocTeplv You can say what you want. I did mention anything about looking out a window and seeing the tail wobble or cutting off or the tail. It did hit the skin of the tail boom. Plus I never mention what country I was in when this happen. Yes these pilots had butt type parachute on because I ask a officer with that Army about it. As for the tail when the aft clam shell is off you can see the whole tail section of the aircraft. As for being a lair you would have to been there to see what I saw. How many years ago did I mention. Where you even alive back then. As for hating Russians I do not think so. I meet a few Russians due the Cold War at Check Point B. His English was I impeccable and he was a very respectful Russian Military Officer. Both of us treat each other with the upmost respect. Unless you were there your comments are really mute. What they do 40 years later in that county I have no clue. That was in 1983. Do your research or reach out and get an understanding of what I saw back then instead of caring on calling some out. You have never walked in my boots or have seen what I have seen in the world.
