Opened in September 2012Mi-24 helicopter in Arsenyev, Primorsky Krai
The monument to the Mi-24 helicopter in Arsenyev is a vivid symbol of the aviation character of the city and respect for its industrial past. On one of the central streets there is a real combat helicopter "Crocodile", created at a local aviation plant. This machine has become one of the most recognizable developments of Arsenyev designers and glorified the city far beyond Primorye.
Today the helicopter rises on the pedestal as a reminder of the contribution of factory workers to the development of aviation and the long history of the production of legendary equipment. The powerful silhouette of the Mi-24, its characteristic cockpit and wings with suspensions create the effect of presence - it seems as if the car is ready to soar into the sky right now.
The monument has become a popular point of attraction for tourists and residents - here they take photos, make appointments and just stop to feel the atmosphere of the city, where aviation really occupies a special place.
