The Mi-8 helicopter has a capacity of up to 24 passengers and can be equipped with various equipment, including lifeboats, special cameras for reconnaissance flights or parachutes for airborne operations. The helicopter is powered by two turboshaft engines, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 250 km/h and carry cargo weighing up to 4,000 kg.
