Namely, at least two UAAF Mi-17s and one Mi-172 are known to have been lost in various accidents since 1998, while several Mi-8/17MTV-5s were observed in service, all of them carrying serials known to have been worn by Mi-17s at earlier time.
The situation as of early 2006 was as follows:
- AF-601, Mi-8MTV-2, green&green camouflage, exhaust difusers, remaining operational
- AF-602, Mi-17, fate unknown
- AF-603, Mi-8MTV-2, light earth&grey camouflage, exhaust difusers, remaining operational
