The Mi-171Sh belongs to the famous Mi-8/Mi-17 family, which traces its origins back to the Soviet Mil Mi-8. This multi-purpose helicopter first flew in 1961 and became a worldwide success, with more than 17,000 examples produced. The further-developed Mi-17 received a new, more powerful engine installation together with modifications to the main rotor, chassis and drivetrain. The helicopter family was exported around the world and deployed in numerous armed conflicts.

The Mi-171Sh was specifically developed for combat missions during local armed conflicts. The real helicopter features a five-bladed main rotor, tail rotor and fixed tricycle nose-wheel landing gear. Its cockpit accommodates three crew members, while the cabin can carry up to 36 troops or 12 casualties on stretchers. Modern avionics and instrumentation enable operations in different weather conditions both day and night.

Protection was also designed around military operations. The Mi-171Sh features armour protection around the crew cabin and vital components, infrared suppression exhaust systems, an IR-decoy dispensing system and protected fuel tanks to increase survivability in the event of combat damage.
