The Mi-26T2V is considered the most powerful and largest military transport helicopter in the world. It is an upgraded version of the original model developed during the era of the former Soviet Union. This helicopter is designed to transport heavy equipment and large cargo weighing up to 20 tons, either inside its cabin or externally via suspension, as reported by the Russian site Rosoboronexport. According to the site, the Mi-26 is classified among helicopters because it can be used for tasks such as transporting equipment and troops, evacuating the injured, firefighting, as well as performing fuel supply and logistical support operations for ground and air forces in combat fields. This giant helicopter is distinguished by its ability to take off and land in rugged and unprepared areas, making it an ideal helicopter for operations in remote areas, with a load capacity exceeding that of any other aircraft worldwide.
