The Mil Mi-20 was a small multipurpose helicopter that the Mil design bureau worked on in the mid 1960s as a replacement for the Mil Mi-1. It was meant for many roles, including transport, cargo carrying, agricultural work and training, and it could also have served as a light armed escort or gunship, carrying Falanga or Malyutka anti-tank rockets on four to six outboard pylons or two UB-16-57 rocket pods. In 1966 the Moscow helicopter plant built a full-scale mock-up with a single 355 horsepower Turbomeca Oredon III turboshaft engine and a tricycle undercarriage, and in 1972 it built a second mock-up with a different engine and a skid undercarriage. The helicopter attracted few customers after the second mock-up, never replaced the Mi-1, and further development was cancelled.
