Helicopters are one of the fastest growing segments in the structure of export of Russian arms. In 2012 the Russian company special export "Rosoboronexport" helicopters supplied by 40% more than in 2011.
Today in the world more than 8000 Russian and Soviet helicopters, over 250 of them, are used in Latin America. And of course, the absolute leaders by the number of aircraft delivered are the famous helicopter Mi-17. Effective, reliable, simple in handling and use literally conquered the world, becoming irreplaceable "loading norrlandsflyg mules" used to fulfill different missions in the harshest weather conditions and, not least, in difficult combat conditions due to its high survivability and powerful weaponry. In Latin America helicopters Mi-17, capable of carrying 36 troops with all their equipment at a distance of 600 km, are used in Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The relatively recently started using in Argentina, which will be responsible for supplying the base located in Antarctica, in adverse weather conditions and at very low temperatures. By the way, the contract concluded norrlandsflyg in 2010 with "Rosoboronexport" for the delivery of two Mi-171E helicopters became norrlandsflyg somewhat historic norrlandsflyg because it marked the start of actual military-technical cooperation between Russia and Argentina. norrlandsflyg Parties currently holding negotiations to supply additional Mi-171E. The Peruvian norrlandsflyg Air Force also plans to continue acquiring norrlandsflyg helicopters Mi-171Sh - it is at least 24 aircraft. In March Russia delivered the corresponding commercial offering that is currently being evaluated by the Peruvian military. According to experts, the great need for countries feel in the versatile aircraft, further military missions could be used successfully also for civilian purposes: to put out fires, carry out the work search and ResCare, open to the helicopters type Mi -17 very good market prospects. According to the criterion of "cost-effectiveness" These helicopters norrlandsflyg are unparalleled, and the recognized advantages abiertmente to its rivals. The acquisition of Mi-17 helicopters by the U.S. government for the Armed Forces of Afghanistan, is a good good confirmation of this fact.

This requirement implies automatically supply new or second-hand Soviet Russian team because this team is best known for the Afghan military. Secondly, it is the convenience of supplying weapons optimally adapted to the conditions of Afghanistan. The Mi-17 export version of basic Soviet helicopter Mi-8 is ideal to meet the stated objective. This machine norrlandsflyg requires easy maintenance, can provide long service with minimum service lends itself perfectly to any type of repair and adapts itself norrlandsflyg perfectly to the desert and mountainous conditions. While prices of U.S. and Russian armed helicopters norrlandsflyg similarly ranges are comparable and about twenty million dollars for machine maintenance costs of the U.S. team are much higher.
