The Mil Mi-172 is the export version of the Mi-8MTV-3, a Kazan built development of the Mi-8 helicopter family. The Mi-8MTV-2 and Mi-8MTV-3 appeared in the 1990s with a cargo cabin that held 30 troops instead of 24, stronger armour and updated systems. In 1991 the Mi-8MTV-3 served as the prototype for the Mi-172, which gained Indian certification in 1994 under US FAR-29 airworthiness rules, and the version certified in Russia is called the Mi-172A. The improvements tested on these variants went into the Mi-17M demonstrator, which in turn led to the Mi-8MTV-5, also sold as the Mi-17V-5. Kazan Helicopter Plant has since fitted Mi-172 helicopters with upgraded avionics, night vision compatible cockpits and VK-2500 engines.
