The Peruvian military department plans to use these helicopters in the valleys of the Apurimac, Ene and Mantaro rivers, in the provinces of Junin, Yauli, Hauha, Concepcion and Huancayo, RIA reports.News».

The proposal of the Russian side was made during the negotiations of the government delegation from the Russian Federation and representatives of the Peruvian Ministry of Defense, which took place in Lima in the first decade of March. The cost of one helicopter will exceed 16,9 million dollars. According to the supply plan, the 21 helicopter will be delivered to Peru in the 2014 year, and three more helicopters will be delivered to 2015.

The newspaper notes that the Peruvian Ministry of Defense is also interested in the supply of additional on-board weapons and equipment for Russian-made helicopters to the country. Russia, in turn, offered to conduct training and coaching pilots - both in the Russian Federation and in Peru. If these decisions are made, the newspaper writes, then the total transaction amount will increase to 485,5 million dollars.

The newspaper also notes that if this transaction takes place, it will be the first in 30 years, when the Peruvian government purchases aircraft directly from the manufacturer.

The good news is, half a billion of course does not solve all the problems, but also very good! Interestingly, but the results of the comparative analysis are not in the open press?

[Geisenberg]

It’s not about money, but in principle. What they buy from us - they won't buy from amers.

happy that the American continents began to be saturated with Russian weapons

[Atlon]

Half a billion for the purchase of helicopters is nothing. In fact, the main income is laid for the future. Spare parts, repairs, maintenance. And this is years ahead!

[vilenich]

You won’t earn much from servicing and spare parts for 24 helicopters, but apparently the main thing is to get into their market a bit, and when you look at it, you’ll see more orders.

Correct clarification.

I will supplement you with info. The Peruvians are on the "right path" and already "trodden".

... In 2010, Peru signed a contract with Russia for the purchase of 6 Mi-171Sh modification helicopters and 2 Mi-35P helicopters. As part of the contract, the helicopters were handed over to the Peruvian side in 2011 on the eve of the opening of the international defense and technology exhibition CITDEF PERU 2011 in Lima ....
This MI-levskaya "classic" regularly serves in the Peruvian Air Force.

[Krapovy32]

Let them buy more, because this is primarily the survival rate of production and wages. We now can’t lose any good personnel, just increase them.

[INTER]

The news is good, the main thing is not a loan otherwise we know how they then pay us, by the write-off procedure.

[Sochi]

Here is a hard worker helicopter, simple and reliable.

Let them buy more! If you need, you can still sell something

Such turntables as Mi-8 (17) do not need advertising.

[Geisenberg]

It’s not right, they are fighting the drug business there. It is not necessary to exterminate, but to lead. To organize at the state level a supply channel to 314ndostan and the problem will be solved forever. For the right to sell drugs in the United States will be lined up.

Gentlemen, but there is someone in the Mi-38 theme, after launching the series, the planned transition of the Russian Air Force to this model will begin with the replacement of 8 or for exporting the machine. A beautiful car, and as one of the creators of the Su-27 said: - A good technique is always beautiful.

The Latin American market is slowly starting to fill up with domestic equipment and weapons, relations between countries in plusthat can not but rejoice! I would like to hear about such supplies more often, the main thing is not to forget about yourself

(generally for South America) And what would be nice to see the Su-30 IWC ICD and ICA, for example (for Brazil and Argentina) in Brazil and Argentina respectively. Well, how about without Mi-17

There is no more chavez, it is necessary to strengthen friendship with Morales.

[Genady1976]

The more they sell, the more they steal.

You need to be friends with Latin America ... a very promising dynamically developing region
