Same as following:

Was this sent for some refurbishment or something?

That explains a new paint job on a older Mi -17.

THe above picture is at Kaunsas, Lithuania.

Edit: Yes, it was sent for refurbishment. http://www.madeinlithuania.lt/Aviation_industry-imone528-Helisota...the link shows that there is a Mi-17 overhaul, repair and maint facility at Kaunsas, Lithuania.

PAF also has overhaul facilities in Karachi, where the full heli can be overhauled and repaired, except the transmission and engine...but due to stretching of resources and already alot of helis requiring maintenance and overhaul due to WoT, helis are also sent abroad for overhaul as in house capacity is less.

Ecrueil at Gyari sector:

 

[Jango]

Rescue effort started again?

There were about 15 bodies left right?

 

[Last Hope]

Old pictures, weather is still harsh. And AFAIK 9 or 7 bodies are still buried.
With the winter setting in, fresh snow storms would've filled in the craters from resume effort. I don't believe they will go for them now.
