Russia Delivers 12 Helos for Afghan Army

Russia’s military export organization Rosoboronexport said Nov. 1 that it had completed deliveries to the US government of 12 transport helicopters destined for the Afghan National Army.
Deliveries were completed last month. The 12 Mi-17V-5s were ordered in 2012.
That deal involved the purchase by the US of 21 Mi-17s to bolster Afghan military transport capabilities in the run-up to the withdrawal of NATO combat forces by the end of next year.
The US Congress tried to block the purchase of helicopters from Rosoboronexport due to Russia’s continuing supply of military equipment to Syria.
