440.OVP BU at Vyazma in September 1996. First helicopter was a K model (bort number 18)
and the second one was a R model. They were still equipped with external fuel tanks as if they
didn't move since their return from Germany. General lack of money, fuel or spare parts
was the order of the day during the nineties.
