This paper examines the evolution of the Soviet attack helicopter through its initial 'gunship' stages to the present sophisticated 'HIND D'. Also, it addresses the corresponding changes in Soviet helicopter tactics which have accompanied their increase in both firepower and maneuverability under the influence on Indochina and the Middle East experiences. Finally, a brief look is taken at possible future development of the attack helicopter force of the Soviet Union specifically, the author predicts that the Soviets will forsake the present scout-attack-and transport abilities of the Hind for a more powerfully equipped and more armored 'artillery platform' type helicopter.
