I was referring to Sheridan which at 17-18 tons is within the Mi-26 carry capacity.
A full blown MBT is of course out of the question. A Mi-12 (the record holder at 40 tons) might have managed to lift a early T-64 (38 tons give or take) but it would not have got very far in all likelyhood and it was not mass produced.
