Many tha...Truly surprised of your great head up !!! Many thanks for commenting here, I spent a long time checking the photo to distinguish whether it's Mi-8 or 17, but finally you revealed it's Mi-25.<br /><br />In this case, 2 Mi-25's are damaged on ground in that air base, and yesterday a Mi-25 was shot down in Deir EzZour !!<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZqLSoYcbJfg<br /><br />Totally 3 now.R.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199784681513741642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1140116093565068918.post-85492243775759900962013-05-07T18:56:57.948+03:002013-05-07T18:56:57.948+03:00Great photos and great analysis!
I'd like to ...Great photos and great analysis!<br /><br />I'd like to add just one thing. IMO the completely destroyed helicopter is actually a Mi-25 Hind, not a Mi-8/17 Hip. Check this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88YgVIub4fs <br />At about 1:27-1:28 remnants of an ATGM launch rail are clearly visible in the lower right corner of the frame. Here I've pinpointed it with an arrow: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4116/128858542.1b/0_93a52_d82aac85_XXL.png<br /><br />I think this was the second Mi-25 visible on the photos taken before the capture of the airbase. I also believe it's the same helicopter that was seen burning during the assault (your photos №№ 12 and 13). <br /><br />Otherwise your analysis is just great, I think I couldn't have done it better :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
