We present a unique detail set: Quickboost QB49066 Mil Mi-8MT/Mi-17 empty ASO-2V flare dispensers, dedicated to 1/48 scale AMK models depicting the iconic Mi-8MT helicopters (also known as Mi-17). This product is a professional accessory made from high-quality resin, enabling a faithful representation of the ASO-2V flare dispenser covers/containers, which were one of the key elements of the autonomous defense systems of these helicopters.

The ASO-2V system was used for launching thermal flares as countermeasures against infrared-guided missiles. Such dispensers were and are mounted on the Mi-8MT and Mi-17, widely used helicopters operated by the USSR/Russia and many Eastern Bloc countries as well as export customers around the world. These extremely versatile machines took part in numerous armed conflicts – including the intervention in Afghanistan (1979–1989), the Chechen wars, and modern operations in the Middle East. The service period of these helicopters and the ASO-2V systems ranges from the Cold War to the present day.
