Correct Answer - Option 2 : Mi-8 Attack and Utility Helicopter

The correct answer is Mi-8 Attack and Utility Helicopter.

  • The 45-year-old, dependable medium-lift Mi-8 attack and utility helicopter of the Indian Air Force flew for the last time and faded into the sunset.
  • The military grey aircraft slowly soared into the Bengaluru skies in a final song, its long rotors whirling as it actually melted into the orange sunset, amidst cheers from the gathered crew who had flown the renowned flight.
  • Over 100 veterans and military people who began their careers in the Indian Air Force on the helicopter gathered at the Air Force Station, Yelahanka, on the outskirts of the city, to remember the retired warhorse of wars and disasters with pride and affection.
  • Air Chief Marshal (Retd) Fali H. Major, the former IAF chief, flew the last flight with the CO 112HU (helicopter unit), later reflecting that his career was formed around the aircraft.
  • Three additional Mi-8s joined him in formation and flew for a short time before taking the bow.

  • Boeing has offered the Indian Navy the P-8I, a long-range, multimission maritime patrol aircraft.
  • The Lockheed P-3 Orion is a four-engined turboprop anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft that was built for the US Navy in the 1960s and first flew in 1967.
  • The Mi-17V-5 (also known as the Mi-8MTV-5) is a military transport variant of the Mi-8/17 helicopter family.
