And what is the difference between a military version and a civilian one? Transporter he is in the army and civilian transporter

I am glad that the triple-purpose helicopter was originally being built: military, civil, and Arctic.

[Sandor Clegane]

the main thing is that production would start quickly and engineers would continue to modify it and this would draw an increase in salaries and social programs !! Well, all together, the economy

[faiver]

But that the Mi-8 was built somehow differently?

And not only Mi-8. All transport Milevskaya turntables were used both in the army and in civilian life, and they fly in the Arctic.
