Default How to steal a Soviet helicopter...

Now this would be ideal fodder for Merc: 2000 but I can imagine it would also be usable for some regions in Twilight: 2000 (say Africa in conjunction with Olefin's Kenyan sourcebook for example).

The US Army’s Night Stalkers once stole a Mil Mi-24 from an area near the Chad/Libya border. EDIT: Okay, technically it was an Mi-25 export version but it's part of the same family...
The weblink below is creatively titled "Hind heist".
