The Mil Mi-2 Hoplite is a small, lightly armed turbine-powered transport helicopter that could also provide close air support when armed with 57 mm rockets and a 23 mm cannon. The Mil-built prototype first flew in the Soviet Union on 22 September 1961 but the project was transferred to Poland in 1964 where it was produced exclusively by the WSK PZL-Swidnik factory. It was first introduced into the Soviet Air Force in 1965 and is used by mainly former Soviet and Eastern Bloc countries, although it was also purchased by Mexico and Myanmar armed forces. Most of the armed Mi-2 variants were used by Poland. Some were also used by the former East Germany (with machine gun and unguided rocket armament only).
Designed as turbine-powered derivative of the Mi-1, the Mi-2 was first flown in September 1961. © Copyright 2003-2022 The Flying Mule, Inc.
