The People's Army received 36 Hoplites from 1982 (to replace retired Mi-1s) and due to the type's unique shape it was nicknamed 'the flying chicken leg' in Hungarian service. The Mi-2s were stationed at Szolnok and performed courier and transport duties before retirement in 2000. This example was built in 1985 and is now on display at the RepTár Szolnoki Repülőmúzeum.
