Russia ships first Mi-17V-5 Helos to India
Rosoboronexport has supplied the first batch of Mi-17V-5 multirole utility helicopters to India as part of the contract signed in 2008. The aircraft were assembled at the Kazan helicopter factory.
The contract is another proof to the fact that the rotary wing aircraft sector is emerging rapidly as a priority for the Russia’s defence exporter. Indeed, helicopter sales are rising annually, with the latest modifications of the Mi-17 family accounting for a significant part of them.
The Mi-17V-5 helicopters are entering the Indian Armed Forces. One of the leaders on the emerging market of the Asia-Pacific region, India has been Russia’s strategic partner, including in defence sphere, ever since 1961 – for exactly 50 years – when the first Mi-4 helicopter was shipped to the country. The trend that is traced back then, continues today: both nations attach paramount importance to this cooperation.
