MI-8 hit - expensive fixer upper.
MI-8 with rocket rails on the ground with it's tail bomb shot through - assume it was on the ground when hit as it counldn't have made a controlled landing with no tail.

Looks more like its been parked there for a long time and the tail broke because or metal fatigue .

Rocket rails on the ground? No.
It looks like it was a runway overrun. The rotors are over the top of a just low-enough building. Having the tail break is pretty common in a rough landing.
No enemy fire here. Just a SNAFU.

@DEADBEEF Helicopters don't use runways.

RONG!
It's much easier for take-off and landing if they use a runway. VTOL is very expensive and the loads that can be carried are a lot less.

Only for the next two days. Then back to boring Australia and food that doesn't nearly kill you :-) Or to very precise food from expensive resorts that is incredibly over-priced and can kill you. Street food is usually O.K.

It'S "tail boom", not "tail bomb".

Could have just as easily said it was shot down by alien spacecraft. And those blast marks are much to precise to have been made by the sand people.

I don't think you swung the camera back and forth enough. Try it again with more cowbell. I didn't actually want to see anything.
