Could also be ANA they have been training for a while now.I thought it was hilarious to see an American pilot training a Afghan cadet to fly a russian helicopter with the majority of controls labled in russian.

Looked like a slight case of 'brown out' not sure what else happend, I assume the pilot landed just fine. Since the cameraman found it more prevalent to make fun of his buddy eating dust rather than film the Mi-8. Not to mention it's impossible to ID what country that Mi-8 is flying for. Could be Russian, Polish, Czech, Afghan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, etc. Many non-ISAF nations still have in some ways provided for our mission in Afghanistan, Russia for example isn't apart of the ISAF coalition, but they have sent in (under our contracts) numerous aircraft carrying supplies for our troops there.
