Rosoboronexport begins supplying Mi-28NE to its foreign partners

Meanwhile, only a few states are capable of developing and producing helicopters that meet modern requirements. Russia among them occupies one of the leading places.

Last year alone, Rosoboroexport exported more than 140 Mi-17 and Mi-35-type combat vehicles to foreign partners, which is 50 percent more than it was in 2012 year.
