There was something similar. On October 14, 2009, in Afghanistan, a Russian Mi-26T transport helicopter carried out a unique operation to evacuate a downed American CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
Don't leave your helicopter unattended
The CIA spent so much money and time and resources to seize this helicopter when they could have waited three years and bought this helicopter in Russia for a case of vodka. 😂
This channel is remarkably good. Love being notified there’s a new video.
Damn Reagan wasn’t playing COD with Russians..
I love your visuals..Very well made..... 😉👍🏼
The US already had an MI-24 at Biggs Army Airfield at least 4 years earlier in 1984. I used to watch American pilots test flying it.
Wait, this helicopter was featured in the movie Red Scorpion which was also released in 1988. Dolph Lundgren shot it down
Not stolen, strategically acquired
Your videos are simply amazing guys. Such an epic team, would be so cool to see your creation process !
Absolutely fascinating how this mission blended sheer determination, technical expertise, and a bit of ingenuity! Sling-loading a massive Mi-24 Hind through the Saharan night, with only rudimentary navigation aids and the constant threat of detection, really highlights the incredible skill of both the pilots and ground crews. The fact that they improvised internal fuel systems and managed to avoid disaster during a sudden sandstorm is just wild. It's also interesting to think about the impact this captured tech had on Western understanding of Soviet helicopters. For those into FPV or drone recovery, does this real-life extraction inspire any creative ideas for tough retrievals or transport missions in the field? What's the most challenging recovery you've ever attempted?
Just out of pure curiosity and sheer admiration: how many people work on such an animation in your team?
They name the war after the car company 😂
Interesting to see you cover a historical event…
Simply amazing
worlds most devious lick
Very curious to know what did US military find on examining the Mi-hind helicopter 🚁
DUDE! WHERE'S MY Mi-25?
