These "Hinds" appear to be a far cry from worn-out examples originally purchased from the Ukraine in the mid-1990s, which suffered a number of combat losses. They do not wear any national markings, and their camouflage patterns differs from helicopter to helicopter. The No.7 Helicopter Squadron SLAF operates a mix of at least six such Mi-24s and Mi-35s. <img src="http://g.imagehost.org/0038/slaf_mi-35p_ch-633_002.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
