Introducing another exciting game to jog your memory. Think you know ALL of the Mi-8/17 variants and what they were built for? This challenge puts that knowlege to the ultimate test! Post a photograph of a specific variant to whatever rotorcraft, and whoever guesses the variant's name and use correctly gets to post the next challenge.
Remember, no cheating by looking up the photo online or on this site!
This is the German Mi-24D sold to Poland for the installation of a Hawk missile nosecone for testing the terrain bounce abilities of the SPS-141 jamming pod on the Su-22.

what is that orange pipe on the side?
Hi scorpio213, nothing accurate is known but this could be a data link from the Hawk missile nose installation to a mobile laboratory setup inside the cabin to record results of the testing.
