I would like photographs of these specific helicopter models, please:
Mil Mi-24 Hind B
Mil Mi-24 Hind C
Mil Mi-24BMT

I FOUND A PICTURE ON A CHINESE WEBSITE OF A WZ-9 HELICOPTER SHARING SOME OF THE ORIGINAL SA.365 DAUPHIN AIRFRAME, BUT ALSO HAVING A TANDEM COCKPIT DESIGN, UNDER-NOSE GUN TURRET, AND A SMALLER CABIN. I WONDER IF THIS COULD BE A PROTOTYPE OR MOCKUP OF THE NEWEST WZ-10 ???. CAN ANYONE FIND MORE...
