NOT TRUE,

the term in which he mean ten days back we had only one that was serviceable out of 20 the others were being checked & examined he means for that one day we had only one from that 20.

Military experts from the United States may soon be allowed to inspect two top-secret Soviet helicopter gunships flown to Pakistan last week by defecting Afghan military pilots, Western diplomats said today.

It would be the first opportunity United States experts have had to examine what is believed to be Moscow's most advanced helicopter.

The gunships are ''D'' models of the Mi-24 helicopter. They may have the latest electronic modifications for Afghan mountain combat.
