I now think they are Mil Mi-8 Hip's rather than Mi-24 Hind gunships. The two look very similar from the air because they have the same five blade rotor without end "paddles", the light colour or the rotors (not dark like most western types). At first glance the tail boom looks too wide for a Mi-8 so I guessed Mi-24 but I think it is a light trick because these lack the Mi-24's wings and their noses look too wide and rounded. So Mi-8 Hip.
