In February, Croatian media reported that the Croatian government was going to hand over Mi-8 helicopters to Ukraine. This information has now been confirmed.

Here's What We Know

Croatian Defence Minister Mario Banožić told this during a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart. Deliveries should start in the near future.

The Croatian defence minister did not disclose the number of helicopters, but presumably we are talking about 14 units: 12 Mi-8 MTV-1 and 2 Mi-8T helicopters.

Flashback

The Mi-8 is a Soviet multirole helicopter developed in the early 1960s. The Mi-8 is the most mass-produced twin-engine helicopter and one of the most widely used helicopters in aviation history. It is widely used for many civil and military missions. The Mi-8 has many modifications. It can be found in more than 50 countries.
