Originally built for the Iraqi Army in 1990, but not delivered. Became CCCP-29112 with MAP Rosverto and served the UN as UN-950 from Sep 1992. In Nov 1995 transferred to Rostvertol as RA-29112. Damaged while on a positioning flight to Somalia when a part of a main rotor blade came off in-flight(!) near Trabzon, Turkey on 31 Dec 1993. Repaired and entered the Vertical-T fleet in Jan 2006. Seen here with cyrillic "Вертикаль-T" (=Vertical-T) titles on the nose. Sadly this Mi-26 crashed on 2 Dec 2006 near Tarin Kowt, Uruzgan, Afghanistan.
