🇲🇲🇿🇼🇷🇺 - The Mi-38T, which is the military variant of the MI-38 is only used by Russia and now Myanmar. Zimbabwe also has a MI-38 that Russia gifted them but not the military variant

🤔 Myanmar already operates the MI-17 extensively and already has all the infrastructure for it. And it lost three MI-17's this year to the KIA. So it would be logical to buy those.

👀 The fact that they bought the less used, technically newer but also more untested in actual combat MI-38T likely shows that Russia probably struggles with supplying them with MI-17's which it uses itself extensively

During the war (with Israel), I was not afraid for myself, but I was afraid that if something happened to the Supreme Leader, we would start turning against each other, and then there would be no need for Israel to intervene.
