Three Mi-24P Crocodile attack helicopters have entered the service with a newly-formed army aviation brigade stationed in Sverdlovsk region.

The new equipment will significantly increase the combat capabilities of the brigade. Mi-24 helicopters will perform tasks as part of tactical flight exercises, and will also be used in various tactical exercises from company to brigade level.

Earlier, the first two Mi-24 helicopters were delivered to the army aviation brigade of the Central Military District.

Since 2017, the pilots of the Central Military District in the Sverdlovsk region have received 28 modernized Mi-8 MTV5-1 helicopters, which take part in rescue operations to launch and meet the crews of Soyuz spacecraft.
