    The image shows a large white civilian heavy-lift helicopter marked 'VERTICAL-T' and 'TVER' parked on a desert airstrip, with a smaller military-style helicopter flying in the background. The large helicopter appears to be a Mil Mi-26, the world's largest production helicopter, operated by Russian company Vertical-T based in Tver. The arid, mountainous desert terrain in the background suggests a Middle Eastern or Central Asian location.
