Aviation Museum]]

The Mil Mi-4 (originally known to US intelligence as the '''Type-36''' and later by the NATO Reporting Name '''Hound''') was a Soviet Transport Helicopter that served in both military and civilian roles.

The Mi-4 was designed in response to the American Sikorsky S-55 and the deployment of U.S. helicopters during the Korean War . The first model entered service in 1952 and replaced the Mi-1 . The helicopter was first displayed to the outside world in 1953 at the Soviet Aviation Day in Tushino .

One Mi-4 was built with a jettisonable Rotor .

The Mi-4 went out of service with the development of the Mi-8 . It is not used by the Russian Air Force today, though it remains in service in some countries as a utility helicopter or a military transport.
