The DISS-15 RF (Dopplerovskaya Inertsialnaya Sistema Svyazi) was an important navigation component in Mi-8MT/Mi-17 helicopters, enabling pilots to operate in difficult weather and terrain conditions. The system was used from the late 1970s—during the Cold War and in the following decades—both by the armed forces of the USSR, Russia, their satellite states, and many export users in Asia, Africa, and South America. It was responsible for the navigation and spatial orientation of the helicopter, including in combat operations, rescue missions, and civilian flights.

The Quickboost QB49078 set is highly recommended for modelers seeking the highest level of detail and improved realism for a 1/48 scale Mi-8MT/Mi-17 helicopter replica. It will be perfect for both collectors of Cold War-era military aircraft and enthusiasts of famous Russian machines. The resin accessories allow you to quickly and precisely enhance the quality of your finished model without time-consuming scratch-building of the details.
