The OMAR Mine Museum (OMAR = Organization for Mine clearance and Afghan Rehabilitation) in Kabul city unexpectedly showed me a number of preserved aircraft. Several former Afghan Air Force aircraft and helicopters were on display, but the war badly damaged most aircraft as well as the infrastructure of the museum. Luckily a large wall around the museum saved the inventory from further damage. This Yak-40 is former CCCP-87255, and the titles it carries read "Destruction of one landmine is to shut a door of poverty, disability and bigging". The last word should probably read "begging".
