This HUGE Mi-26 was once delivered as CCCP-06181 to MAP MVZ im. Milya in 1990 and was originally built for the Iraqi Army. After use in Sweden as RA-06181 with Mi-Avia from Borås in basic Aeroflot colors and additional 'Osterman Sweden' and 'Vattenfall' titles, during the mid-ninetees, the helicopter was transferred to TyumenAviaTrans in 2000 and to UTair in 2003. From mid-2003, UTAir leased the Mi-26 to the United Nations for operations over Africa. Mid-2019, it was seen stored at Tyumen-Plekhanovo in Russia, awaiting overhaul.
