The Mi-8/Mi-17 family is undisputedly the most successful design of the Mil Design Bureau. The base model Mi-8 which was developed for operations in "hot and high" conditions are in widespread use worldwide. Thanks to its generous size, the Mi-8 has even found its way to many civilian operators outside the CIS. Numerous Mi-8 serve in Africa and in Latin America, and some can even be found operating in Western Europe, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean. In Russia and the other states of the CIS, the Mi-8/Mi-17 family mainly serves as utility transport aircraft for both civilian operators and the military. For most of the oil and gas companies in Siberia, the Mi-8/Mi-17 even is the vital link to their sites.
