I went back to the Civil War Monument and museum practically next door and took plenty of pictures of the few derelict military aircraft. While taking pictures of this early variant of the Mi-24 (possibly a Hind) transport/attack helicopter, I noticed it has this camera on its left wing (See attached pictures, forum is refusing to display them in full within the post).
Wikipedia has only this to say on the subject
This variant is definitely older than 2004, so it can't be the Mi-24P. Any idea on what this camera is and what it was used for? Thanks for any insights!
