-In 1981, a dedicated anti-tank variant of the [[Mi-24V]] was devised, replacing the gunner controlled, nose mounted 12.7mm turret with a pilot-controlled fixed [[GSh-30-2K (30 mm)|Gsh-30-2K]] twin-barrell 30mm cannon from an [[Su-25]] for anti-tank duties. The resulting variant, named the Mi-24P would quickly enter service, and would also be exported alongside the Mi-24V to many countries.

The only difference is the gun armament: the chin-mounted 12.7mm gatling gun has been replaced with a fixed [[GSh-30-2K (30 mm)|GSh-30-2K]] cannon mounted on the right side of the nose for anti-armor duties. This is the same type of cannon mounted on the [[Su-25]] attack jet, another Soviet "flying tank". Although it is difficult to aim, a quick burst from the cannon can shred lightly armored vehicles. Thus, the Mi-24P is a sidegrade to the previous Mi-24V, being more focused on anti-armor duties than anti-infantry.

 The Mi-24P has the exact same loadouts as the Mi-24V, so all previous advice applies. The 9M114 Shturm missiles are the main anti-tank weapons and the R-60 "Aphid" missiles are the main anti-air weapons, and remaining pylons can be distributed between rockets and bombs by personal choice.

-The fearsome dual-barrel GSh-30-2K cannon boasts a high muzzle velocity, a rapid 2,600 rounds/min rate of fire, and a powerful mix of shells that are effective against both aircraft and ground vehicles. Compared to the Su-25 Grach's basic GSh-30-2, the Mi-24P's "K" variant has a longer barrel (by nearly 1 meter) and thus improved muzzle velocity and penetration. It does not have enough punch to be a major threat to MBTs, other than those with particularly poor side armour, but it is a quick way to mop up IFVs and SPAAs that are within gun range and not paying attention. Be mindful of the limited ammunition supply and use the ballistic computer to aim precisely.

Be mindful of the limited ammunition supply and use the ballistic computer to aim precisely.
 Although the GSh-30-2K is powerful, its fixed mount makes it difficult to aim. The Mi-24P needs to point its nose directly at the target for the duration of a burst and the airframe does not have the nose authority or general agility to make this easy. In air-to-air combat, these disadvantages are magnified, and the previous Mi-24V's Yak-B gun may be more practical.
