Mi-2D (D = Dowódcza = Command) airborne command post version first built 1967 delivered aircraft: 26 show more info
One of the first specialized variants for the military was the airborne command post version. Mi-2D helicopters were designed as flying command posts for army tactical groups. The cabin of this version was completely rearranged. It had three stations for staff and command personnel - two for officers designated by the Division Commander and one for the special equipment operator. The specialized equipment of this helicopter included an R-111 VHF transceiver for communication with army units, an UTS special communications transceiver, an UFK-K-1 radio-telephone and an MS-61 voice recorder. On the outside, the helicopter could be told apart form other Mi-2s by the antenna system of the R-111 VHF transceiver on the rear part of the starboard fuselage side. Due to the considerable weight of the UTS transceiver, in practice it was frequently removed from the helicopter. The command post version was manufactured solely for the Polish military, and the total number built was 26 units. The first helicopter of this version was built in December 1967 (cn 57 0607 127) and delivered to the 47th Wing of Liaison and Ambulance Aviation at Modlin. It was an experimental aircraft, its equipment differing from that of later production helicopters. A long period of testing followed, resulting from problems with the selection of suitable communications equipment (due to electromagnetic interference), which caused that the first 14 production aircraft in that version were built as late as the months of August-October in 1974. In July 1977 another 6 units were manufactured. The last 5 Mi-2Ds were built in October 1978.
