Russian news media propaganda report on Mi-24P (30mm guns) and Ka-52 action in Ukraine, October 2022:
This is a Ukrainian Mi-24V, supposedly of those donated by NATO Czech Republic.
In August 2022, Russia revoked licensed Mil helicopter operations for NATO-Czech Republic and NATO-Bulgaria, after they donated Hinds to Ukraine.
In August 2022, Brazil flew its 12 Mi-35M4s for the last time, officially. Brazil calls its Hinds the AH-2 Saber. Brazil has been operating Saber-Hinds since at least 2011. Local news media reports say the high cost of maintaining them was exacerbated by recent U.S./NATO sanctions on Russia.

Hinds with invasion stripes?
In December 2021, a video appeared claiming to show rebels in Yemen now have a usable Hind helicopter:
In August 2021, Taliban took control of donated Mi-35 helicopters, after the sudden withdrawal of U.S./NATO forces from Afghanistan.

In April 2020, it was reported that an Mi-35, used by the ‘Haftar’ forces in Libya, was shot down, the crew was killed. It should be noted that the Haftar forces (aka Libyan National Forces) are supported by both Russia and NATO-France! The 2011 NATO instigated civil war in Libya never ended!

The U.S. Army first started flying the Mil 24 in the early 1990s, after French and Chadian forces seized an abandoned Libyan Mil 25 Hind-D in 1987. The helicopter was flown to the U.S. onboard a C-5 Galaxy in 1988.
The Hind-D was based at Fort Bliss, Texas. It was routinely deployed to Fork Polk, Louisiana, to play the part of the enemy, or Opposition Force (OpFor) in wargames.
This 1995 U.S. Army photo shows the Hind-D equipped with Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems (MILES) ‘laser-tag’ wargame device on the chin-gun. It has Tasmanian Devil nose art.
