Shutdown after a long sortie. This is an unusual procedure I've never seen before - spraying water into the inlets of the Klimov TV3 turbines.

The spraying into the engine intakes is to remove any salt deposits after a day of flying over a saltwater environment. This is to eliminate corrosion on the expensive engines. The airframe itself gets the same treatment. Well done and well capture :)
