How to differentiate Mi17 and Mi8 helicopters... The left one is Mi8 and right one is Mi17?

The only visible difference between the Mi-8 and Mi-17 is that the tail rotor is on the starboard side (right side) of the Mi-8, whereas in Mi-17 it is on the port side.

World Hydrography Day:


Pakistan Navy Survey Vessel BEHR MASAH is a 3000 Ton Survey Ship which is over 80 meters in length and is equipped with state of the art equipment and is fully capable to undertake hydrographic, oceanographic and geographical surveys as well as seafloor mapping from shallow to ocean depths.

With the induction of BEHR MASAH, the hydrographic survey capabilities of Pakistan Navy would come at par with those of the developed maritime nations of the world.

Pakistan Navy commissioned survey ship “Behr Massah” at a ceremony in Karachi on 4th November, 2019.

The Mi-17 is identifiable from the Mi-8 by the additional air filters on the turbine air intakes(just below the main rotor), as well as left hand side mounted tail rotor, Mi-8 has a glasses in front that gave it a snubbed nose.

I have Considered all such differences before,
Like the difference in location of rail rotor, the difference in 'heli face,' difference in exhaust and the difference in rare door, but still I find it hard to differentiate the various different version of Mi-8/17 family. Check below pic of three different versions operational in Pakistan Army, and all are Mi-171

Well differentiating between a sub variant is very difficult, and there might not be any any visual difference at all, like in different blocks of F-16.

Second and Third same, PNS Behr Paima

It is a hydrographic survey and Research vessel owned by Pakistan Navy. Her keel was laid on 16 February 1982 and was launched on 7 July 1982 in Japan. The ship was handed over to Pakistan Navy on 27 December, same year. The ship was equipped with most modern surveying systems of the time. The hydrographic systems have been upgraded since then from time to time and hence are parallel with modern trends and techniques available in the world. Most of the oceanographic equipment are, however, of the original outfit.
