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.

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.

Sensing an opportunity to make points with the Afghan government, India gifted four refurbished Hinds (originally purchased from Belarus) between 2015 and the end of 2019. The Indian Hinds were denoted as Mi-25s and Mi-24Vs by the Indian news media and even Jane’s Defence Weekly, U.S. news sources refer to the Indian gifted Hinds as Mi-35s.
