The Mil V-12 is the largest helicopter ever built and seen here the 2nd prototype and last built of the type. In 2012 it was falsely painted as seen here, with the registration of the first prototype, which was still preserved at the MVZ im. Milya factory at Tomilino by 2018. Both prototype V-12s outperformed their design specifications and set numerous world records which still stand today. This example first appeared in Monino in 1975, after the programme was terminated in 1974. This photo is copyright © Wim Sonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
