The Mi-8 and Mi-17 are among the most recognizable multipurpose helicopters, used from the 1960s to the present day. They have taken part in numerous conflicts, including in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine. They have been continuously operated by Warsaw Pact countries, Russia, Eastern Bloc nations, as well as many armies in Asia, Africa, and South America. Flare dispensers were and still are standard equipment for these aircraft, especially during operations in high-risk areas with an increased threat of missile attacks.
