Hmm I don't have any knowlege about Polish Mi-24 missions in Iraq...but I will try to find some detailed informations about it.


Polish Mi-24 during training - that's a realy low flying

Thanks man.

That last pic looks pretty dangerous! That pilot's got balls.

Awesome pictures! It's very interesting how they use both Warsaw Pact and NATO equipment!

OMG. What a beautiful sniper rifle.


BTW, I thought the Mig-24 were stop building more. Are they?

I think Russians are still producing Mi-24. The newest model is coled
Mi-35M
All Mi-24 in the Polish Army will be replaced in a couple of years...probably by Apache or European Tiger.

Too bad, the Mi-24 looks really awesome

Bulgarian ones wont be replaced ... but are being upgraded by Elbit (Israeli defence company)

As for the Mi-24 Polish Army decided that it is a waste of money to modernize them because it's an old technology.
That’s why they are going to be replaced.

Damn! Im not messing with the army that's for sure.

During my time in Afghanistan, I worked with a number of Polish Soldiers. Very good group of folks. Though as nails. That is why I always wanted to travel to Poland. Also, from my time working with them. It changed my opinion of the Polish Military. I thought that after the fall of the Warsaw pact that Poland was nothing but a thrid rate military power. But when I saw them in action. I was blown away. It is a top notch fighting machine. Hardcore and battle tested.

Also, as a side note, the sight on that rifle is an American Designed Eo-Tech Model A65.12. Great sights, I had one on my Service issue M4 carbine and on my personal M4 Carbine. THey have a battery life of 800 hours and run off two simple AA batteries.
