Russian Military orders six Be-200 amphibious planes
The Russian Defense Ministry has signed a contract with the Beriev Aircraft Company for the purchase of six Beriev Be-200 amphibious planes, according to Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). The contract is worth 8.4 billion rubles [$268 million].
“The first two planes will be basic Be-200ChS models, while the following four will be the Be-200PS version without firefighting equipment,” UAC said. It is the first purchase of Be-200 planes by the Russian Military. The Defense Ministry may order eight more planes in the future, according to UAC.
Be-200 is the world’s largest multipurpose amphibious aircraft, designed for firefighting, search and rescue, maritime patrol, cargo and passenger transportation. The plane can carry 12 tonnes of water or 7.5 tonnes of cargo, or up to 72 passengers. At least five Be-200ChS firefighting planes are currently in service with the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
