No modifications are eveident...

It appears to be a perfectly stock Mil-24 Hind A (perhaps not an A, but an early model guaranteed).

Wow, I've never seen one with a front end like that.  It doesn't look like it would provide a very good view of the ground infront of it.

I only said it was modified because of this:

Modified version of the Mil Mi-24. Provia 100F.

Well at least the person knows what sort of camera they have, even if the know nothing about Hinds ;D
I was in uniform at the end of the Cold War, and they were a known enemy. I've also been up in a Hind-D. Anyone that can hover one of those over the same spot is a damn fine pilot, I was bounding all over the field :-[
