The Yugoslav designation for the SA.342L equipped for anti-tank operations was HN-45M Gama. As of July 1991, the example with serial number 12924 was one of only five serving with 713th Anti-Tank Helicopter Squadron – the smallest unit of the RV i PVO. Four of these were HN-45Ms, while one was the ‘utility’ H-45 version. Ultimately, this unit was planned to receive its full complement of 17, as 711th Squadron, based at nearby Pleso. Due to the crisis, 713th Squadron moved to Pleso and then to Bihać, until it was disbanded and integrated into 711th Anti-Tank Helicopter Squadron on 6 October 1991. All the Gazelles of the JRV i PVO were painted in glossy grey-green overall: they had tactical numbers and type designation on the cabin (together with the airframe number, No. 138 in this case), roundels and the full serial on the boom, the type’s nick-name and the national tricolour on the fin. The Gama helicopters carried four Malytka anti-tank guided missiles (NATO AT-3 Sagger) and two Strela-2M air-to-air missiles. This configuration was only ever seen at air shows however and during the civil war there were no aerial targets and therefore Strela-2M missiles were not mounted. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
