ABIDJAN

A Russian made MI 24 Hind attack helicopter flew over Abidjan's military
airport yesterday, witness said.
Ivory Coast's army did not have the attack helicopter before the rebel
uprising broke out on September 19, and French forces deployed to monitor a
cease-fire between the army and rebels are not equipped with an MI 24.
The MI 24 Hind was designed to bea gunship and can be fitted with artillery,
cannons, rocket launchers and other weapons. It can carry eight passengers
in addition to two pilots. The helicopter was the signature weapon in the
Soviet war in Afghanistan. The aircraft appeared to be making test flights,
after being transported to Abidjan.
