Nach der Wiedervereinigung wurden einige Maschinen bei der WTD61 (Wehrtechnische Erprobungsstelle) der Bundeswehr erprobt, je eine Mi-24D und P ging zur Feinddarstellung an die US-Armee. Die restlichen wurden bei der HFS Ost und HFS 80 (Heeresfliegerstaffel) im nichtregulären Dienst geflogen und schließlich am 14. September 1994 außer Dienst gestellt.
After the reunification some craft were evaluated by the Bundeswehr, one Mi-24D and one P were given to the US-army as OPFOR.
The rest was flown in non-regular duty and finally retired on the 14th of September 1994.
