This '88 built Mi-8 was delivered as 18 Orange to the Russian Army at Brandis, later on it was recoded to 12 Blue at Werneuchen, both in former East Germany. It was most probably moved to Chechnya were it was illegally sold after it suffered an accident in '93. The Afghan MiI possibly took over the Mi-8 and used it with the Afghan Special Narcotics Force (as this picture shows), but c/n is not confirmed. Probably 95059 was damaged beyond eco repair on 27 March '06 in a hard landing in the Spin Ghar district (Nangarhar province) after technical issues, all 9 crew and passengers escaped unhurt.
