This is Mi-171Sh of the Sri Lanka Air Force with serial SMH-4415. It was accepted by the SLAF on 20 June 2013 in a greyish green/khaki camo color scheme. Late 2014, the helicopter was deployed to the United Nation mission MINUSCA in the Central African Republic as UNO-314P. It is seen here stored with the Aircraft Engineering Wing without a serial on its tail, but this was confirmed from the cockpit and its construction number.
