The full-size helicopter can carry up to 16 troops or 4,000 kg of cargo, while external sling mounting allows various weapons to be used against ground and surface targets. Modern navigation equipment supports operation in adverse weather conditions, with an onboard defence system and armour intended to protect the crew and helicopter. The Mi-171Sh is used by the Russian Aerospace Forces and foreign militaries.
