Default Re: mI-8 / mI-24 in German Service

I've just found an article on German Mi-24 in Polish Aeroplan 3/2004. It lists all helicopters and it appears, that East Germany didn't use Mi-24W/V at all! After Mi-24D there were Mi-24P delivered, but only from 1989 (we have 1988 now - unit #123). Also German Wikipedia don't mention German Mi-24W and says:

Quote:
Der erste von zwölf Mi-24P kam am 15. Dezember 1989 zum Geschwader.
I'm not sure of translation, but it seems, that the first of 12 Mi-24P went into a regiment on 15 December 1989(?).

Units 920-928 need correction as well:

920, 923, 928 Mi-24P - first date as above

921, 922 Mi-24D - should have #149 Falanga missiles instead of 9M114.

924 Mi-24D - first date 8/78 as unit #124

927 Mi-24W - should be renamed to Mi-24D

However, I can't confirm 80mm rockets nor 122mm rockets on German Mi-24. All photos known to me show them with 57mm ones.
