From Cold War Crisis Wiki

The only Helicopter the USSR get without purchasing any general upgrades. Used mainly to transport troops.

Description

• First Helicopter available for the USSR side at Rank 2.
• Cannot engage any type of units whatsoever.
• Can be taken down by SAMs and Anti-Air soldiers.
• Can transport up to 12 infantry units or a maximum of 1 vehicle.
• Is the unit responsible of performing the USSR's paradrop

Usage

• The Mi-26 Halo can only drop the units inside it by landing, so make sure the landing zone is clear of enemy units.
• It can take more punch than your average helicopter, but it can still be easily shut down killing all infantry inside it.
• It cannot engage any type of units, so make sure it is accompanied by support.
• Use it to transport your units to the frontline.
• You can also use it to cross over obstacles like water and mountains.

How to defend against

• Since it can't engage, any anti-air unit can take it out with little effort.
• The Anti-Air Soldier can take it out with two missiles, so garrison towns and village to ensure that no drops are being performed around them.
• Anti-Air base defences deal easily with the Mi-26 halo.
