Mi17 survival story

Apparently hit by a manpad, this Syrian Air Force Mi17 got back safely with the crew: tough old ship?

Seems an extraordinary amount of fire damage in the cabin to have allowed breathing/life to have continued in the cockpit a couple of metres away, unless they landed with a small/er fire and that damage occurred on the ground afterwards.

Good thing Anfi did not have his way with the Mil Bureau designers or this Bird would have been on the Ground and the Crew In much trouble!

Well done to the Crew for getting the aircraft home!
