D-25V
Type	Turboshaft
Manufacturer	Soloviev Design Bureau
First run	1954
Major applications	Mil Mi-6.

The Soloviev D-25V is a Soviet gas-turbine turboshaft engine for use in large helicopters. Designed and originally manufactured by the Soloviev Design Bureau the engine has been in production since May 1960. The power unit consists of two engines coupled to a gearbox weighing 3,200 kg (7,050 lb).

The V in the designation means vertoletny (Russian: Вертолетный), for helicopters.
