8. Mil Mi-24 Hind
For the past 40 years, the aged design has been a repeated aerial image of Asian and African conflicts. It is a versatile platform employed by various states and paramilitary groups. The Mi-24 is what the AKM is to assault rifles. A classic from the Cold War era that has lasted a long time. It is much larger than the subsequent versions because it is a combination attack/transport helicopter. It is still relevant today, despite being heavily armed and armored and being less nimble by today’s standards.

7. Agusta A129 Mangusta
The Italian A129 attack helicopter is the first of its kind in Western Europe. The Italian design, which was the lightest among its global rivals, was redesigned after the Cold War ended. Because NATO no longer expected to face a Soviet armor onslaught, the aircraft were streamlined and ballistic protection was reduced. It was thought to be comparable to the American AH-64 Apache at the time. The A129 is equipped with typical NATO weapons such as Hellfire and TOW ATGMs. Sixty units were produced, with more than 30 remaining in use today.
