Very nice image, I am surprised that they let you have such shots as this. All that secret squirrel stuff going on now in the world. :-)

Nice! The good old Mil 24! Great shot, BTW. It is the night version, so the color is not your usual desert or woodland camo. For those who do not know it well and ready to dismiss it as an outdated chunk of Soviet Cold War era technology, let me tell you that it is incredibly fast and maneuvrable, it is very nicely armored AND it can carry cargo, troops, and wounded! It carries up to 7 external pieces of armament, including AAMs, bombs, mine dispensers, guided anti-armor missiles, and cannon pods for up to 2 twin-barrel 23mm cannons (in addition to its chin turret). It is one chopper that can do it all, and it can do it all well.
