beingthehero Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi all, does anybody have any photos of aircraft in Tajik service? I've seen photos of some of Russia's Su-25s based there, but no actual Tajikistan aircraft. As far as I know, there are far more photographs of North Korea's air force than Tajikistan's. I'm especially interested in any of their Mi-24s or An-2s. I know there's a video of Mi-24s and what looks to be an Mi-8 being filmed from the cockpit taking part of a fight in Tajikistan. However, the video quality is too blurry to make out any markings: Here's hoping Linden Hill or Begemot tackle some of Tajikistan's aircraft, if any references exist!

kotey Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm never saw any photos of Tajik Mi-24s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beingthehero Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Damn, not what I was hoping for. :/ Well, I did find some pictures of their aircraft - Mi-8s and one An-2. I thought they used a different roundel, a green-colored star, but it looks like Tajikistan still uses the red star. Edited January 11, 2015 by beingthehero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Linden Hill Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) The current markings applied to VVS & PVO of Tajikistan aircraft are a combination of the old red star, a decal of the air force crest (normally almost bleached white by the sun) and in some cases (e.g. L-39, Mi-8MTV, Mi-24V and P) the national flag on the tail. There is no commonality at all when it comes to bort numbers; they all appear to have been applied individually.

beingthehero Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thank you! Hope some of those markings become part of a Post Soviet Air Forces sheet some day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Linden Hill Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 We're almost there with the Tajik PSAF sheet. We just need a few more details for these birds… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
