Russian Helicopters new light and medium multi-role
Russian Helicopters showcased at Aero India the new light and medium multi-role helicopters – primarily the Ka-226T and Mi-171A2 – that will be the principal Russian products for the fastgrowing Indian market.
The light multi-role Ka-226T with its unique coaxial rotor is currently competing in a major Indian Air Force tender for surveillance and reconnaissance helicopters, and has excellent chances of success. In December 2012, Russian Helicopters signed an agreement in New Delhi with India’s Elcom Systems to establish a joint venture to assemble Russian Helicopters including the Ka-226T in India.
Another attractive addition to the company’s range is the upgraded civil medium Mi-171A2, the latest version of the Mi-8/17 series, the world’s most popular helicopter. The Mi-171A2 combines the best performance of its legendary predecessors with leading-edge technologies. Almost 200 Mi-8/17s operate in India, and demand for these helicopters remains strong.
Russian Helicopters recently signed another contract for Mi-17V5 helicopters with the Indian Air Force; the contract is expected to be fulfilled in 2013.
At Aero India 2013, Russian Helicopters and Rosoboronexport also showcased the Mi-28NE Night Hunter attack helicopter, which has outstanding capabilities, being able to operate day and night and in all weathers, and can fly search-and-destroy operations against tanks, armoured and unarmoured vehicles.
