It is a very versatile helicopter in both the attack and support roles. Don't let the massive airframe fool you, the pair of Klimov TV3-117V turboshaft engines coupled to the 5-bladed rotor give the Hind-D very good lifting power, handling, and decent flight speeds for its weight class. The chin-mounted 12.7 mm turret has a wide gimbal range, and the wide array of ordnance the Hind can carry ranging from gunpods and ATGMs to unguided rockets and bombs will rain hell on enemy tanks in mixed battles. It is also worth mentioning that being a member of the Hind family, the Mi-24D is very well-armoured and has overall decent survivability against machine guns and smaller calibre autocannons.

-The Mi-24D is the definitive variant of the infamous Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter. Being designed to specifically be a "gunship" variant designed in 1973, the Hind-D had a redesigned frontal fuselage: The single piece cockpit from the [[Mi-24A]] was redesigned with two seperate cockpits for both a pilot and a gunner to have clear view of the battlefield. The Mi-24D had the required fire-control system to carry various 57mm rocket pods, the UPK-23 gunpod, and the 9M17 Falanga ATGMs. The Mi-24D would become one of the most widely exported variants around the world. Chzechoslovakia would recieve their Mi-24Ds in the '80s, and the Hind-Ds would be passed on to the successor Czech Republic in 1993. The Hind-Ds have started becoming obselete in recent years, and in 2023 a majority were transferred to Ukraine.

-One of the most iconic helicopter gunships of the Cold War, the Mil Mi-24 was widely exported throughout the Eastern Bloc as the Soviet Union armed its satellites in Europe and abroad. This Mi-24D is one such example, and flies the colours of the Czechoslovak Air Force. The "Hind" is one of the most heavily armed gunships ever made, possessing extensive payloads and a durable airframe, at the cost of low manoeuvrability. A pair of Klimov TV3-117V turboshaft engines give the helicopter good lifting power and decent flight speeds.

The range of the Falanga-PV missiles allow for strikes to happen at a distance, which keeps the helicopter out of range from most enemy SPAA or tanks.
