Militants in Mali have captured a dismantled and damaged Mi-24 attack helicopter belonging to the Malian army. The helicopter was supplied from the Russian Aerospace Forces' inventory four years ago. The capture highlights ongoing militant gains in the region. The Mi-24, although damaged, could potentially be repaired or exploited for parts by militant groups.
