damn things are workhorses even if they ain't pretty... overall, the Ruskies have an odd idea of battle-ready gear... I recall seeing some film clips of one of their recent heavy weight fighter bombers operating off a soggy grass field - when it was standing still it'd sunk in about half-way up to the tire's axle - and landing again... another clip showed the same beast running up its engine while a guy was shoveling gravel into the intake, and some of that gravel was goose-egg and softball size stuff

Do not mistake my observations on its appearance for a lack of admiration, the MI24 Hind was quite possibly the best helo ever built. The Soviets were serious.

Though not the only ones to overload with ordinance. One on the few pictures of me (period) from those days is running along side a UH47 skipping down the runaway burning off the necessary buck forty-five for me to get on.
