First a MiG-25... then a Mi-25 (Hind D export version). Pretty sure an Su-25 went 'over the fence' at some point as well.
Maybe the Russians should retire that numerical designation?

Uhhh, I'm no expert but I don't think that camo pattern really works in that environment. Could be wrong though.  :notme:

It looks photoshopped onto the background. Mind you, I'm not wearing my reading glasses at the moment.

It's more about not being seen when it's on the ground

I don't think the edges are sharp enough for that, plus the way the background shows thru the rotors is really hard to do.
Looks like it was just a really tight focus on the bird.  Wife gets similar effects with a non-zoom flat lens
