If anybody interested, the rest of the 4 Hind will not travel to Russia this year, rumors has it it will happen next january, worst case scenario, it will never happen.

All 4 ex-DDR Mi-24P left Hungary today:

All Mi-24P still have their DDR camo and serials, they never flew in Hungary since their arrival in 1995

Another two Mi-24P - serials 358 and 361 - were transported to Kecskemét. Both helicopters still have their DDR camo and DDR insignia and flew maybe 25 years ago.

Can you post some photos here or in private to see what you saw from the east? Never been there. Also maybe I can confirm a few things for you.

We where there earlier this year so I want to know if it's possible that we saw the stored Hinds from the outside. We saw a lot of them on a dispersal but are these the ones that are being updated?
