Russian Helicopters added that the six machines were delivered in September, being the first batch under the contract for 12 Mi-8MTV-5s, placed during the Army 2015 forum.
"The next six machines are scheduled for delivery in 2015," Russian Helicopters said. The MTV-5 variant is a military utility transport helicopter powered by two Klimov TV3-117VM turboshaft engines and equipped with a loading ramp instead of the clam-shell doors, an additional door and a new "dolphin nose". |
