Looks like a heavily modified "Puma" that was used for filming Red Dawn many moons ago, with a "Photo Shop" paint job.
PHI had some aircraft that did some "Hollywood Time" 8)

Definitely a real Mi24 Hind. Looks like a Hind-D. The Hinds used in the original Red Dawn were earlier versions of the Mi24. Hind-A's I think; maybe Hind-C's. They had the angular cockpit windows.

yeah, it's real. The Hinds in Red Dawn were indeed fake A models.
