Already transferred to the army aviation units of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, the helicopter is designed to increase mobility of ground troops, providing them with fire support on the battlefield.

Aviakon is also set to modernise a number of Mi-8MT helicopters for the Ukrainian armed forces with new weather radar, satellite navigation system and reserve radio station.
