Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hi Crizz,
No, I cannot afford to buy this nice device. Shots taken with 70-200 f/4IS.

Thanks for all comments.

You clearly do not need a gyro anyway. well done

Mi-24 is not very friendly for photographers - a lot of vibrations inside - so with gyro would be easier but I must handle itonly with IS.

Hi, Bartek, I saw the same two plus another one landing at Miroslawiec on the July, 25th. Was this the date of your flight?? :?

In these pipes smoke is generated to lay a screen of smoke on the battlefield and prevent clear vision. Stuff from a pre-IR era ... :wink:

CBR - the same pair. Probably the last days of those.
Mi-2Ch is also used in chemical reconnaissance.
Thanks for comments.

I have no idea. What I can tell you is that they supposed to be use in area where chemical or nuclear attack has been conducted. They were checking how bad situation is - or something like that.

In 2004 I saw an Ukrainian Army Mi-24Ch but they have claws on their pylons to take soil samples and an "laboratory" on board.

I do not see this on the Mi-2Ch.
