'Black Tulip' was name given to Soviet airplane taken killed soldiers from Afghanistan in 80s. Each dead had military reference as "Cargo 200" (dead) - "300" number was used for wounded, on other airplanes, it's still used by both sides in Ukraine conflict, though 'Black Tulip' is (probably) mostly recognizable to those who had knew about war in Afghanistan. -
