The aircraft was ready for takeoff and its crew was awaiting the clearance. ATC cleared the crew of a Soviet Air Force Mil Mi-24 to takeoff from the center of the runway. In a certain confusion, ATC cleared the crew of the AN-12 to takeoff shortly thereafter. During the takeoff roll, the pilot of the AN-12 saw the helicopter and decided to rotate when a wing struck one of the helicopter's propeller and crashed, bursting into flames.
