The radome of that closest one is proof that you don't necessarily need to keep your paint masking perfect. ;)

Nice!  Needs to be escorting a similarly marked Mi-8/Mi-17 on a "peacekeeping" (more like "peaceforcing") mission.

Interestingly the warnings & placards on the Hind seem to all be in English. :)

Should be in French, too, given that they're flying under UN colours. ;)

Guess the UN's starting to get serious about this World Governance thing, then. ???

No, no, no!  The black ones are the evil Gubbermint ones, not the evil UN ones!   ;D

While we're on the subject of the UN & its military options, here's a photo of Australian troops setting up a Vickers gun in Korea, note the 3 different types of head gear being worn by each of the Diggers.

Here's the scary part: They are black! The Evil Black Helicopter carries a Deframinitzer Reverse Doppler Generator, which alters their light reflection 180 degrees away from the norm, when recorded by either silver halides or electronic chips. That way, when you photograph them, you get back pictures of nice, happy UN aircraft, instead of the evil black helo you actually saw.

Little known fact: This technology was derived from the crashed Roswell Saucer. Aliens use it to fuzz the images of their craft, which is why to this day, despite a plethora of excellent cameras, nobody has taken a good picture of a UFO.
