The third and final batch was transferred in March 2024 in the amount of two helicopters.
The country is supplying helicopters of the Mi-24B version, but at one time, it also had the Mi-24DU and Mi-24D versions.
The Mi-24 is actively used by the army aviation of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
They carry out transportation tasks and launch unguided rockets at enemy positions.
