France will supply Ukraine 55 helicopters Airbus Helicopters

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine announces the signing of an agreement between Ukraine and France in creating a unified system aviation security and protection in Ukraine. According to this document, Ukraine will receive 55 helicopters manufactured by Airbus Helicopters (light H125 and H145 and heavy H225), according to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

Decommissioned Airbus Helicopters H225 (EC225LP) helicopters

The delivery of the first four Airbus Helicopters H225 helicopters is planned for this year. They will be delivered to the new MIA response service for rescue and medical work.

As stated in the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the first batch of 37 helicopters will be delivered in two stages, in the second batch there will be 18 machines. Of the total number of machines supplied, the 21 helicopter will be the H225 model. Also according to the contract, the French will conduct training of Ukrainian pilots, a service center and a base for the overhaul of helicopters will be created.

But not everything is as good as they say in the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs. If two models of the supplied H125 and H145 helicopters are among the new machines, then with regard to the H225 helicopters, this is not true. According to French media reports, these vehicles will be shipped from the decommissioned H225 helicopter in the North Sea 29 on April 2016 after the accident of the HXNUMX helicopter.

The crash of Н225 in the North Sea off the Norwegian coast led to the death of 13 people due to the separation of the main rotor, which revealed problems with the reliability of the main rotor gearbox of the entire helicopter family and led to lengthy bans on the flights of НХNUMX helicopters.

Although at present the ban on flights of this model has been lifted, but the companies that operate the helicopter are trying to get rid of it by selling cars about "knock-down" prices. In the face of Ukraine, the French found a buyer for the majority of the non-flying H225 helicopter fleet, reports bmpd blog

SECOND-HAND, not a bit, not painted, without a flight across Ukraine

[210ox]

And what is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine engaged in rescue operations?

Dima Rather draping-rescue. In the place of the French, I would demand money in advance.

Yeah .... Nadia’s own one, or whatever they called this heilicopter, will not pull ..

They give credit to the whole party. There would be no loan, who would buy them?

[bouncyhunter]

Well then, wait for the French to return the loan before the carrot conspiracy. Well, or when the lobster on Mount Fuji whistles.

[TermNachTer]

I strongly suspect that even longer.

[Prisoner]

They’ll buy devices and get busy. The crews of these pepelats will be saved.

[Kasym]

They want to leave Motor Sich without work. I do not understand Kiev. "LA is needed in order to lift the engine into the sky." They themselves are digging their own economies.

[TermNachTer]

And these people think only about their pocket, but not about the country. An - 32, all intellectual rights sold to Arabs. Tomorrow they will start releasing themselves, and Ukrainians will be sent on an erotic journey.

Repainted, armed and ... in the Donbass. The tricks are famous ... And dear kind France will play the playful little hands "well, who would have thought!" ...

And what, ours have been trying to get their helicopters in there for the last four years?

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

How much did these 55 helicopters cost the Ukrainian budget?

[Santa bear]

About $ 555 million. That is, about $ 10 million apiece. The French give a loan for this purchase, so first the goods, and then pennies ... when they begin to give the loan.

Yes, in their budget, apart from debts, it seems like there is nothing. The French will give them credit for these helicopters, except for which dill will also have to pay debt interest for this scrap.

[donavi49]

Yes, scrap. Even in SLO they buy a commercial version of EC-145 . The police and the Ministry of Emergencies too. Mostly in the same Moscow fly to the EU-135-145. They even considered the issue of assembling these helicopters in Russia - but they could not get a sufficient number of contracts (business case).

[donavi49]

Really - 0. Even most likely in the plus is the same Avakov (for suitcases from lobbyists).

Then 550 million. Helicopters, training and the center on credit. There is more pollard - less pollard in the state loan portfolio, not particularly noticeable. Moreover, these pollyards can only be taken with goods - simply it is impossible with credit (dough).

It's okay. In an extreme case, as our manager said. production, a German from the former GDR: "Helicopter niht, popistofali so ..."

[andrewkor]

Well, for sure, they want to finally ruin the country. Previously, a cruiser was given for this, but this helicopter is enough!

Not funny, comrade. There’s nothing to ruin

This is as technical assistance! For free! What are the good fellows of the French. Thanks to them!

The French will beat off their grandmothers for maintenance and repair.

[Santa bear]

Who said that for free? On credit. 555 million $. French give and provide training and spare parts

[TermNachTer]

And the training of crews and ground personnel? And after that repairs, those. service, app. parts?
But I think that the paddlers nevertheless miscalculated - who the hell would they give the money to them.

Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine informs

Why is the Ministry of Internal Affairs combat helicopters? They will use them as our police for many years used the Mi-8 (unarmed).

[igorserg]

Where? in hot spots? In the absence of combat helicopters and the presence of a hot military conflict, only two conclusions suggest itself: Either, using the situation, someone gets a good kickback. Or the helicopters will be converted into military ones later used in a hot spot (by the way, a convenient cover for the transfer of lethal weapons)

[conservative]

Or helicopters will be converted into combat

this is a lot of new weight. There and so the screw falls off

And you offer a tired design with a problematic gearbox to additionally load with something military (and therefore heavy)

Then you can offer the Mistals.

[polpot]

The French did not know the grief associated with the Ukrainians, and the money for the decommissioned helicopters will not get yet should remain

[donavi49]

Decommitted only 225. Rather, used. Well, there are small markets. The main purpose of 225 is to transport oil workers. Augusta’s main competitor (which Rosneft also chose by the way). When the ban on 225 was imposed, Augusta began actively lobbying for her cars, with delivery tomorrow. Arguing that - you have 225, and we’ll bring you a new helicopter tomorrow, but you are signing a contract. Redistributed its capacities and finished machines - and knocked out Watermelon from the main oil industry workers. As a result, when 225 was finalized, customers already flew on August.

The younger versions carry the first persons in the Siberian Federal District and work in the Ministry of Emergencies / Police in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

I would have kicked out our officials for such purchases without the right of subsequent employment in government agencies. We do not have enough aviation equipment, the factories will take into account any whim, only pay the money.

[donavi49]

No.

To get into the Arctic Ocean - you need to have a certain raid and statistics. Ka-226 and Ansat cannot pass through security (again, a raid of type and statistics are necessary). Therefore, we chose the light class between Augusta (I flew in the light but bought 139 for the Arctic Ocean) and Eurocopter (or Watermelon) 145 and Bell 407 (flew, but eventually organized a large-site assembly at UZGA - there are customers).


As for the others. They need paid money - received the car. The FSB border guard won the Ka-2008TM in the 226 year - there are still no helicopters. The courts are already coming. 12 full-time carriers (22460 and Purga) were built, but no helicopters. As a result, we went from the opposite, ordered a regular Ka-226Т board (T - French engine) performed by 57 (winch, searchlight, pivot mount under the 7,62 machine gun).

Plus, again, from domestic options - dear Ansat (the current price of 272 million rubles is for Eurocopter 135 - $ 3 million +/- costomization for 145 - about $ 5 million) and Ka-226A(American Allison engine) /Т (Turbomech - France).

This is a very scary call. These helicopters will most likely be used to deliver the organs of Ukrainian citizens in need of a transplant to the citizens of the “tsyzylized” world (EU, Israel, USA, etc.).
Donor bills are pending in z'Rad, lobbying for the law of the riffraff from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The agreement on "unsuitable" bodies in Nenko with the transfer of the EU, in my opinion, already exists.
The base for people (still alive) citizens of Ukraine with personal data of organ carriers (with a description of medical characteristics of organs) will be regulated by this law.
Soon any citizen of the “tsyzylized” world who needs organs can order the required authority, though only in the case of:
- "premature" death of the carrier (data on the place of stay will be in the database),
- availability of confirmation from relevant structures that the body is not needed in Ukraine,
- appropriate payment in favor of the budget of Ukraine.
Something similar, though less ambitious, was in Yugoslavia (Kosovo), though the truth is not so open and documented.

[Guru]

In the person of Ukraine, the French found a buyer for most of the flightless fleet of H225 helicopters

Well, it doesn’t matter that Turd, but European.

[Ivan Ivanov]

Enough of fairy tales about flying technique, the fact speaks of whom they really support.

[Santa bear]

The only one supported by this contract is the French helicopter builders from Airbus. For the rest it's ruin and a headache

[Real russian]

Great helicopters.

[Ros 56]

And what freshness these turntables, the resource is probably on the way. And indeed, pride takes for the success of an aviation power.

[NF68]

And Ukraine have a pittance on this matter? Or count on a freebie?

[TermNachTer]

You are absolutely right, comrade and namesake.

[Uma palata]

The population of Ukraine, by the way, was reported in the local media that the cars were “transmitted”, that is, sort of for free. In fact, decommissioned dangerous helicopters are precisely selling, and the transaction is at the expense of the budget. That is, kill yourself for health, natives, having paid these things at your own expense. I wonder who pocketed the rollback for such a shameful deal?
