helikoptereket

Helikopteri is a type of military aircraft used by the Hungarian Air Force. The word "helikopter" is Hungarian for "helicopter," and the term is often used to refer to the Mi-24 attack helicopter used by the Hungarian military.

The Mi-24, also known as the Mangesh or Hélicoptère d'attaque (attacking helicopter), is a Soviet-designed attack helicopter used by the Hungarian Air Force since the 1980s. The Mi-24 is a versatile and heavily armed aircraft that can engage ground targets, provide air support for ground troops, and even serve as a reconnaissance platform.

The Mi-24 is powered by two TV3-117 turboshaft engines, which provide a combined thrust of 9,300 horsepower. The helicopter has a top speed of 340 kilometers per hour (212 miles per hour) and is equipped with a range of weapons, including the R-60M air-to-air missile and the S-24P rocket pods for ground attacks.

In Hungarian service, the Mi-24 has been used for a variety of purposes, including ground attacks, reconnaissance, and transportation of troops and equipment. The helicopters have undergone various upgrades over the years, including the installation of Western avionics and communication systems.

Although the Mi-24 is a Cold War-era design, Hungary is continuing to operate the helicopter due to their large number of aircraft and the lack of a suitable replacement with the available budget. However, the serviceability and modernization of these aircraft has raised criticisms within the military establishment and among experts, who question the potential future possibilities for such a complex and manpower-intensive platform.
