The Americans will hand over UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper helicopters to the Czechs. At the same time, Prague praises the Soviet Mi-24V / 35, having coped with its task perfectly, “although they lasted longer than expected.” This was stated by Czech Defense Minister Yana Chernokhova, ČT24 reports.
Even if we symbolically say goodbye to them today, their story is definitely not over. We will definitely find a use for these helicopters. That’s all I’ll say on this subject, because in principle I don’t comment on deliveries to Ukraine,” she said.
At the same time, Chernokhova did not disclose details about the number of Soviet attack helicopters. At the same time, she emphasized that in the Czech Republic it is also necessary to have spare parts for Mi series helicopters, because they are on the sanctions lists, so it is difficult to get spare parts.
As you know, the Mi-24 is a Soviet attack helicopter designed to support infantry. This helicopter is now in service with a number of countries, including Ukraine.
Recall that in early July, Poland handed over 10 Mi-24 combat helicopters to Ukraine, but the transfer of these aircraft was not officially announced.
