Hmm, Mi-35Ms for some new customer. 50 years since the type was introduced!

Zunis? Those are 5" rockets! Seems UkrArmy is getting the big rockets now...

I'm still partially amazed that Zuni rockets are still available to be donated... Last you really hear about them being used in combat is 50 years ago in Vietnam. Though apparently the USMC prefers WP Zunis for their FAC(A)s to mark targets.

Didn't they used them during GWI?

 

[Scott Kenny]

Didn't they used then during GWI?

Maybe? If only for target marking, yes.

Unclear whether 2 helicopters or 1 lost. Could be a misidentification. Other reports of a Ka-27 lost too.
