Number and types of radios onboard the Hind?

[Looney]

Does the Hind carry the same type and number of radios as the Mi-8? So R-863, R-828 and Yadro HF radio?

For the non-Cyrillic friends, that's the Yadro-1G, R-863, R-828, SPU-8 intercom, and an MS-61 loudspeaker for the announcer.

 

 

By the way, thanks for providing such good info all the time Sebulba!

So I guess the answer is yes, the 24 has the same radios than the Mi8.

The Mi-24 has the R-828, a Jadro equivalent and a R-863 equivalent. However, the model we are getting (currently) does not have a tuning panel for the R-863. It will have 20 preset frequencies, much like in the Mi-8, and these will be preset "on the ground".

 

This R-828 is located behind the pilot's left elbow, the Jadro by his left forearm and the R-863 above the head of the collective, with its red-cross selector dialler. The SPU-8 is located below the ARK-15 radio compass, which is equivalent to the ARK-9 in the Mi-8 module.

 

So Mi-24's radios will need to have presets made by mission editors for multiplayer missions, otherwise they might be unable to communicate with other airframes, or ATC/ground forces.

Thank you very much for the information!
