In Poland, on August 31, 2025, a ceremony will be held to retire the last Soviet anti-submarine helicopter Mi-14PL. Rotary-wing aircraft of this type have served in the naval aviation of the republic for more than 40 years and were considered one of the best in the world for combating submarines.
The Polish Navy's Mi-14 helicopters were based at the 44th Naval Aviation Base Darłowo (44 Baza Lotnictwa Morskiego (44.BLotM)) on the northwest coast of Poland.
In the 1980s, Poland received 12 Mi-14PL helicopters from the USSR. During their service, they underwent several modernizations, but the wear and tear of the systems and airframe made their further operation impossible.
Mi-14 amphibious helicopters were created on the basis of the Mi-8T. They are distinguished by the presence of a sealed boat bottom instead of the helicopter's power floor.
Stable floats are attached to the sides of the boat bottom. Other systems of the machine were also adapted for use on water.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that unique electric-drive thrust reverser grilles have been invented for the PD-14 aircraft engine.
