The soviet-designed Mi-8 gunship, estimated to be worth $14 million, appeared quite out of place sitting in the middle of a highway in Kazakhstan.
A number of perplexed truck drivers making their way through the snow could be heard on the convoy radio questioning the pilot’s motives when a small figure jumped out and jogged toward the closest vehicle.
