    A large military helicopter, marked with the number '261' and a checkered emblem consistent with Croatian armed forces markings, is parked on a tarmac at a military airfield. Ground personnel in camouflage uniforms are present nearby, and a fuel tanker truck is visible in the background, suggesting a refueling operation is underway. The setting appears to be a forward operating base or military airfield in a hilly, semi-rural area.

The aircraft appears to be a Mil Mi-8/Mi-17 type helicopter operating under NATO's Kosovo Force (KFOR) mission. The background shows a rural landscape with scattered buildings, bare trees, and snow-capped mountains in the distance.
