After design and development, the Mi-8 was subsequently introduced into the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Air_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet Air Force">Soviet Air Force</a> in 1967. The Soviet military originally argued against a new helicopter, as they were content with the current <a href="/wiki/Mil_Mi-4" title="Mil Mi-4">Mil Mi-4</a>.<a href="#cite_note-mi-helicopter.ru-4">[4]</a> To counter this, Mikhail Mil proposed that the new helicopter was more of an update to new turbine engines rather than an entirely new helicopter, which persuaded the council of ministers to proceed with production. Due to the position of the engine, this enabled Mikhail Mil to justify redesigning the entire front half of the aircraft around the single engine.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> The prototype, which was named V-8, was designed in 1958<a href="#cite_note-mi-helicopter.ru-4">[4]</a> and based on the <a href="/wiki/Mil_Mi-4" title="Mil Mi-4">Mil Mi-4</a> with a larger cabin.<a href="#cite_note-Donald_Encyclopedia-6">[6]</a> Powered by an AI-24 2,010 kW (2,700 shp) Soloviev turboshaft engine,<a href="#cite_note-Frawley_Military-7">[7]</a> the single engined V-8 prototype had its maiden flight in June 1961<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> and was first shown on <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Aviation_Day" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet Aviation Day">Soviet Aviation Day</a> parade (Tushino Air Parade) in July 1961.<a href="#cite_note-j75-9">[9]</a> During an official visit to the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> in September 1959, <a href="/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev" title="Nikita Khrushchev">Nikita Khrushchev</a> took a flight in the <a href="/wiki/Sikorsky_S-58" class="mw-redirect" title="Sikorsky S-58">S-58</a> presidential helicopter for the first time and was reportedly extremely impressed.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> On Khrushchev's return, he ordered the creation of a similar helicopter, which was to be ready for the return visit by the American president, to save face.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> A luxury version of the Mi-4 was quickly created and Khrushchev took an inspection flight, during which Mikhail Mil proposed that his helicopter in development was more suitable. However, it would be necessary to have a second engine for reliability.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] This gave Mikhail Mil the power under the orders of Khrushchev to build the original two-engined helicopter, which for the first time in Soviet history would need purpose-built turbine engines, rather than those adapted from fixed wing aircraft (as in the <a href="/wiki/Mil_Mi-6" title="Mil Mi-6">Mil Mi-6</a> and the first prototype V-8) and an entirely new main rotor gear box that would be designed in-house for the first time. In May 1960, the order was given for Mikhail Mil to create his twin engine helicopter. The Sergei Isotov Design Bureau accepted the task of creating the engines.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The second prototype (still equipped with the one turbine engine as the Isotov engines were still under development) flew in September 1961.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Two months after the engines were completed by Isotov, the third prototype designated V-8A equipped with two 1,120 kW (1,500 shp) <a href="/wiki/Klimov_TV2-117" title="Klimov TV2-117">Isotov TV2</a> engines, made its first flight piloted by Nikolai Ilyushin on 2 August 1962, marking the first flight of any Soviet helicopter to fly with purpose built gas turbine engines.<a href="#cite_note-Donald_Encyclopedia-6">[6]</a> The aircraft completed its factory based testing in February 1963.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The fourth prototype was designed as a VIP transport, with the rotor changed from four blades to five blades in 1963 to reduce vibration, the cockpit doors replaced by blister perspex slides and a sliding door added to the cabin.<a href="#cite_note-Donald_Encyclopedia-6">[6]</a> The fifth and final prototype was a mass production prototype for the passenger market. In November 1964, all joint testing had been completed and the Soviet government began mass production.

By <a href="/wiki/1967_in_aviation" title="1967 in aviation">1967</a>, it had been introduced into the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Air_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet Air Force">Soviet Air Force</a> as the Mi-8.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] There are numerous variants, including the Mi-8T, which, in addition to carrying 24 troops, is armed with rockets and <a href="/wiki/Anti-tank_guided_missile" title="Anti-tank guided missile">anti-tank guided missiles</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Mil_Mi-17" title="Mil Mi-17">Mil Mi-17</a> export version is employed by around 20 countries; its equivalent in Russian service in the Mi-8M series. The only visible differences between the Mi-8 and Mi-17 are A) the position of the tail rotor (Mi-8 right side, Mi-17 left side), B) the shape of the exhausts (Mi-8 circular, Mi-17 oval), and C) Dust shields in front of engine air intakes for the Mi-17. Also Mi-17 has some improved armour plating for its crew. The naval <a href="/wiki/Mil_Mi-14" title="Mil Mi-14">Mil Mi-14</a> version is also derived from the Mi-8.<a href="#cite_note-helicopter-database1-13">[13]</a> The Mi-8 is constantly improving and the newest version still remains in production in 2024. However the second generation of the Mi-8 was changed to a tractor-tail rotor configuration as this configuration has increased yaw authority from the upwards advancing tail rotor blades into the downwash. The increase of the airspeed flowing over the rotor blades increases overall tail rotor effectiveness and yaw authority, whereas with the 'Pusher' tail rotor configuration the advancing rotor blade moves downwards. This decreases the airspeed across the rotor blade, reducing its overall effective yaw authority.<a href="#cite_note-helicopter-database1-13">[13]</a> [<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Operational_history">Operational history</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mil_Mi-8&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Operational history">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Finland">Finland</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mil_Mi-8&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Finland">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mi-8_kuljetushelikopteri.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Mi-8_kuljetushelikopteri.jpg/220px-Mi-8_kuljetushelikopteri.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="132" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Mi-8_kuljetushelikopteri.jpg/330px-Mi-8_kuljetushelikopteri.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Mi-8_kuljetushelikopteri.jpg/440px-Mi-8_kuljetushelikopteri.jpg 2x" data-file-width="900" data-file-height="540" /></a><figcaption>Finnish Mi-8 in Hernesaari, <a href="/wiki/Helsinki" title="Helsinki">Helsinki</a>, in 2005</figcaption></figure> The <a href="/wiki/Finnish_Defence_Forces" title="Finnish Defence Forces">Finnish Defence Forces</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Finnish_Border_Guard" title="Finnish Border Guard">Finnish Border Guard</a> began using Mi-8s in the 1970s, with the <a href="/wiki/Finnish_Air_Force" title="Finnish Air Force">Finnish Air Force</a> receiving its first, serialed HS-2, on 28 May 1973, and the second, HS-1, on 31 May 1973.

Some 40 helicopters were equipped for firefighting operations.
