This Mi-24P was new built and was rolled out on 28 May 1986. It was delivered to the V-VS and Ukraine. As one of six to Sri Lanka as SAH-4411 on 16 Jan'01 and assigned to No.09 Attack Helicopter Squadron "Instantly, Surprise". The HIND was reserialled to SAH-633 by Mar'12. The Mi-24P made its last flight on 17 Nov'09, made a last ground run on 21 Mar'13 and was withdrawn from use with only 1692:54 logged flight hours. Possibly it will be made airworthy again in the future. But the attack role of the type is not necessary anymore in the current SLAF doctrine. Pictured during a 4Aviation tour.
