mI-8 / mI-24 in German Service

[Pibwl]

I've also written, that MiG-29s delivered in 80s/90s can carry only 80mm rockets or 500 kg bombs.

In fact, standard armament for non-Russian helicopters are 57 mm rockets. 80 mm rockets could have been delivered to peculiar countries or could be not. Bigger rockets were untypical in non-Russian service.
As for 240 mm rockets, the book "Soviet/Russian aircraft armament since WW2" by Yefim Gordon doesn't even list helicopters as standard carriers, but only mentions, that part of Soviet Mi-24V were modified to use this weapon.

130mm rockets S-13 are in fact 122mm caliber (according to the quoted book), hence confusion. However, I would be very surprised to see it under non-Russian helicopter. Poland for instance got literally several launchers for Su-22M4 (not helicopters), reportedly with some dozen rockets only, and they are not normally used.

BTW, Czechoslovakia developed its own 122mm aircraft rockets, simply adapting M-21OF Grad, but they don't seem to find wide use.
