The target successor of the Mi-24 is to be new machines codenamed "Kruk" (Crow), but at the same time modernization of the existing helicopters has been planned for several years.Any word on the fatigue tests?

At the same time, fatigue tests of one of the helicopters, namely the Mi-24 helicopter number 272, are underway. They were commissioned by ITWL to PZL Świdnik, in order to check the possibility of conducting air operations by the modernized machines.
According to the original information, the trials were supposed to be carried out in 2019-2021, but they probably still haven't been completed.
According to the assumptions of the Ministry of National Defense, the modernized Mi-24 could for some time be operated in parallel with the new "Kruk" helicopters.
As for the "Kruk" program itself, for about five years it has been at the stage of assessing the Basic State Security Interest (PIBP), and the analytical and conceptual phase has not ended. PIBP assessment is critical to this program. It is possible to purchase American helicopters (AH-64E Apache Guardian or AH-1Z Viper) in FMS mode or to obtain them from helicopters from another manufacturer. In the latter case, the most likely candidate would be AW-249 from Leonardo Helicopters, which offers Poland industrial cooperation in the program of these machines. But as of today, we have 28 Mi-24 helicopters without ATGM (only with small arms, 23 mm - 7.62 mm caliber and unguided missiles)
Looks like "Dromader". Also i have question, where did you found AW-101 picture you posted above? I couldn't find it anywhere else

Well, I found it on some military-related Twitter account. And it was an answer to some post I guess. The picture itself was a screenshot from some social media site with a browser window etc and I cut it out. Sorry if you are the author of this photo. I am unable to find that original tweet with that picture again...

Nothing is known. The photo comes from the MMA event, where one of the organizers wrote: "Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa is the patron of the fights with the participation of soldiers of the Polish Army.
During the "Army Fight Night 11 - Battle for Independence" gala, the TYTAN project, i.e. the Advanced Individual Fighting System, will be presented.
The project includes over 100 newest items included in the individual soldier's equipment.
On the other hand, the author's website regarding the MAPA camouflage contains information that the items of equipment in the MAPA camouflage (i.e. those shown in the photos) presented at this event will soon be available for sale.
Edit: An additional curiosity is that the MAPA camouflage pattern has not been introduced in the Polish Army. Clothes and equipment in this pattern are currently being developed for commercial purposes in the company which is also participating in the "TYTAN" program.
