Troop carry + gunship helicopter?

The only one I can recall (apart from Rambo III) is the Blackhawk; the 'battlehawk' variant in use by some SF aviation groups.

overall any interesting facts about the hind, history, arment, or avionics.

There is no direct equivalent within NATO that I am aware of, but it's irrelevent because NATO in general chose the 2 man tandem seating style helo for it's attack helicopter options (Tiger, Apache, Mangusta, Cobra).

There are armed versions of NATO transport helicopters (The "Battlehawk" version of the Blackhawk being one) but there are others. TOW equipped Lynx helos in the British Army, TOW, rocket, machine gun equipped Gazelle's and plenty others.

Long story short ....mi-35 is a much upgraded version of mi-24
It has better avionics and sensors , and especially it has night fighting capability which the original mi-24 lacs.

The Mi-24NP has night fighting capability as far as I know, so it's not something unique to the Mi-35 upgrade. But yes the Mi-35 is a deep upgrade of almost all major components.

there is a big difference in the filosophy of helibuilding in Soviet/Rusian army and in NATO
Mi-24 was build as a flying tank to deliver troops just in the heat and cover them there under heavy anti-air fire. It is fully defended against even 12.7 and 14.2 mm anti-aircraft guns.
I cannot say exactly but as for my knowledge most of nato helicopters are not armoured against such weapons and even against 7.62 mm
