Mil Mi-4

| Type | Transport helicopter |
| Manufacturer | Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant |
| Introduced | 1952 |
| Primary user | Soviet Air Force |
The Mil Mi-4 (originally known to US intelligence as the Type-36 and later by the NATO reporting name "Hound") was a Soviet transport helicopter that served in both military and civilian roles.
Design and development
The Mi-4 was designed in response to the American H-19 Chickasaw and the deployment of U.S. helicopters during the Korean War. While the Mi-4 superficially resembles the H-19 Chickasaw, it is a larger helicopter and is able to lift more weight. The first model entered service in 1952 and replaced the Mi-1. The helicopter was first displayed to the outside world in 1953 at the Soviet Aviation Day in Tushino.
One Mi-4 was built with a jettisonable rotor.
Operational history
The Mi-4 went out of service with the development of the Mi-8. It is not used by the Russian Air Force today, though it remains in service in some countries as a utility helicopter or a military transport. The Mi-4 played a very important role in Bangladesh liberation war of 1971. The Mi-4 was the workhorse of the Indian Army at the time. A highly successful heli-borne operation using Mi-4's helped the Indian Army's 57 Mountain Division clear the mighty Meghna river. The helilift of a battalion of Indian troops to the outskirts of Sylhet were the first heli-borne operation of the Indian army.
