PRIMAL Assessment:

The passenger compartment is not generally used but it provides flexibility to pick up personnel, carry spare ammunition, or hold door gunners. In Afghanistan the Taliban nicknamed the Mi-24 'Satan's Chariot' and according to Soviet sources 27 were shot down by US supplied Stinger heat-seeking missiles.
