The Russian Helicopters' Mi-17Sh-VN military transport helicopter was designed based on the experience gained from combat use of helicopters in Syria.

"Technical image of Mi-171SH-BH was formed based on the experience of combat use of helicopters, including the Syrian Arab Republic. The helicopter implemented a whole range of design features that enhance combat effectiveness and combat survivability of the machine, "- said General Director and CEO of Russian Helicopters, Andrey Boginsky said in a statement Thursday.

Mi-171 (Mi-8AMT) is designed for transportation and landing of troops (up to 37 people fully equipped and armed), fire support to the troops, transportation of cargo up to 4,000 kg inside the cargo cabin or at the external sling, transportation of wounded (up to 12 persons accompanied by medical personnel).

The helicopter can also be used for effective destruction of armored vehicles, weapon emplacements and enemy troops. Special truss with ejector rack is to be installed on the helicopter for suspension of air weapons.

Mi-171SH-WH is equipped with powerful engines with improved altitude and climate characteristics and new carrier system. The machine set composite rotor blade profile and a new X-shaped tail rotor. Compared with the previous version of the helicopter due to these innovations, increased the maximum cruising and the helicopter flight speed of up to 260 and 280 km/ h, respectively, and a maximum take-off weight of 13 500 kg and increased its thrust-weight ratio and the efficiency of the machine at high altitudes and in hot climates.

Mi-171SH-HV is equipped with the new composition of navigation equipment.

In order to increase survivability applied principle of combination of "glass cockpit" and reliable analog devices. The machine is equipped with a digital autopilot.

The helicopter is equipped with the FLIR-system Searchlight with infra-red emitter, dual-band light and technical equipment adapted to the use of night vision goggles.

The machine is equipped with a defense complex "President-S", which automatically detects a missile launch helicopter carries jamming their heads pointing and false thermal emission targets.

World militaries are learning from the syrian war. I hope Pakistanis will also be looking at that conflict closely to learn the ground battle in that type of war. Our war was much different from that type of war where so many countries are involved directly and indirectly. And that war has proved that having a "Superior" air force does not change the ground circumstances drastically. The will power of the soldiers also plays a huge role in a war.
It also shows that a weaker but more motivated side can win in a short term war by using their superior motivation, BUT a stronger force will most likely win a long term war if they are given enough time to regroup and analyse. The only way a smaller force can win a long term war is by not letting the other side have time to breath and settle.
And numbers Do matter on the ground.
This analysis was only for the syrian war.
