Russian Helicopters has delivered the first batch of four Mi-171Sh military transport helicopters to the Peruvian Defence Ministry. The Mi-171Sh helicopters are being delivered to Peru a month ahead of schedule. The customer has also received aviation equipment required for its operation.

This contract was the largest to be concluded in the recent history of military and technical cooperation with Peru and was one of the largest in the global market for military transport helicopters. Under the contract signed in December 2013, 24 helicopters will be supplied to Peru. In addition, a maintenance center for Russian Helicopters will be established in the country.

It’s worth noting that the Mi-171Sh military transport helicopters are fitted with the latest systems boosting their combat efficiency, providing comprehensive protection of their main systems and crew from attack, and avionics suites that enable them to fly under adverse weather conditions and at any time of day or night.
