A rare one, this Mi-2 was former CCCP-20741, became YL-LHD on 22 October 1992, and this registration was cancelled on 23 February 1993. It was sold to Latvia as 151 and assigned to the Lielvarde helicopter Eskadrila at Lielvarde of the Latvian Air Force. After several periods of storage between 1993 and 2013, the HOPLITE continued where it was made for, flying! After an overhaul in Ukraine it returned to airworthyness in March 2015. It was last seen operational at Lielvarde in mid-2019, then stored at Lielvarde in January 2020. It was possibly transferred to Ukraine in 2023/2024.
