thats deffinitely a MI-24, i grew up @ a heli-port in ukraine and this is not a KA-52 black shark, this is a classic mil...FOE SCHIZZLE MAH NIZZLE.
but anyway, i wonder how many CHERNOJOPIZ ( aka russian niggers ) that thing took out.
better yet, how many its taking out right now as we speak, no no better yet how many it will take out tomorrow and so forth .
holla back
It is MI-24. No doubt about it. They are laso called "Flying Fortress"

and another thing:
heat supressors won`t help much if you have many thousands of liters worth of exhaust at an EGT of around 400-600degrees. What they do need is an aircraft version of the "arena" antiprojectile complex. Its about time they use theyr brains.

You gotta be joking me! All of the Kamov series of gunships and attack helis have twin rotors, and no tail rotor.
I won`t agree on the antitank missiles though, and there ain`t many armored vehicles chechens can or do use, so I suggest optical guidance multipurpose missiles, if they use such.

to be accurate it's hind but not version D. It's hind V. You may see "shturm" containers under its wings and "berioza" ECM antenas on the sides of that Mi-24. these are baisic features that distinguish hind D from hind V.

its neither its a mil mi-24 hind-D. its odd that it dosnt have the infared suppressors on its engines. and from its armorment(it looks like it only has the anti-tank missles equiped and no missle pods.) it looks like its going to hit a armored coulomn (a line of vehicles on a road) and i dont think the black shark has made it into full mass production yet(thats assuming these pics are recent) though it might be in service with moscow helicopter units.
