On August 25, 1979 the crew of helicopter Mi-8 №275 of Afghanistan Sky Forces made the flight to Khunar province, Bar-Khunar district to disposition of the government armed forces near Asmar. The crew didn’t know that the day before Asmar garrison had gone over to rebel forces side. So as soon as the helicopter landed it was o cc upied (and it is seen in the picture that shooting had place) and the crew were captured. At night the pilots managed to graft the guards and escaped. As there were no pilots among the rebels, they placed the helicopter on the outskirts of the village, thinking that there were no useless things. Long time had passed before they could use the helicopter. After Soviet Army entered Afghanistan that helicopter was used for m ak ing photos to show rebels’ su cc ess. That helicopter №275 appeared in magazines and newspapers with different cutlines and dates more than ten times.
