Wondering if such book even exists, but If yes, maybe one of you read it and can recommend it.

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, I had a quick look in the books section on Amazon using the keywords 'Soviet Helicopters In Afghanistan', but I couldn't see anything that was of interest in the results.

Hi, IIRC "The Soviet-Afghan War: How a Superpower Fought and Lost" has some sections on helicopter operations. It's a Soviet/Russian General Staff study, translated into English with some commentary by the translators.

Thanks guys! Got the book on Amazon, I like to have it on paper! Looks like a nice book. Got one with tactical vignettes explained too. Bear went over the mountain!

Mil Mi-24 Hind by Yefim Gordon also has significant sections of it dedicated to Mi-24 operations in Afghanistan.
