2. The Mil Mi-10: The Flying Crane
The Mil Mi-10, also known as the “flying crane,” was a helicopter designed to carry heavy loads that surpassed the capacity of other Soviet helicopters. With its long legs and external platform, it could load and transport up to 15 tons of oddly shaped equipment. While its unique design caught attention and a few dozen units were produced, the Mil Mi-10 ultimately faded from use over time.
