is that true that mil 17 can carry same load(tonnage) of weapons an apachi can carry??
mil.17 in kargil war
which anti-amour missile mil-35 is carrying??
Yes but am not sure about anti tank missiles. As IAF just few days ago gave tender for EW suits. But am sure MI17 can fire unguided rocket pods
External Payload: 4,000 kilogram
Max Takeoff Weight: 13,000 kilogram (28,660 pound)
Payload: 4,000 kilogram (8,818 pound)
But new V5 variants are quite capable :
Mi-8TV / MI 17 V5 armed helicopter
The armed variant, designated Mi-8TV, is fitted with 7.62mm built-in machine guns and six external weapons racks with S-5 rockets. The helicopter can also deploy AT-2 Swatter 9M 17P Skorpion anti-tank missiles. The helicopter's weapon sighting system is the PKV collimating sight. Mi-8TV is also capable of laying minefields.
The armed Mi-8TV helicopters are fitted with more powerful TV3-117VMA engines, which give an improved hovering ceiling (3,950m compared to the 1,760m of the Mi-8MT). The maximum slung payload of the armed helicopter is increased to 4,000kg.
A Hot Brick infrared jammer can be fitted, and six ASO-2V flare dispensers are installed: three to the port and three to the starboard side of the fuselage.

May be our Mi17 could fire missiles once it receives EW suit.
As of now I guess only 4 heavy rocket pods
@Abingdonboy does MI17 has any kind of target seeking radar or sensors like AH1Z to fire missiles?
