26 July 2017, Wednesday

The Russian Ministry of Defence received, well ahead of schedule, a new batch of Mi-8MTV-5-1 military transport helicopters manufactured by the Kazan Helicopters of the Russian Helicopters Holding.

Timed to coincide with the Unified Military Goods Commissioning Day (held on 26 July 2017 in a videoconference format with the National Defence Control Centre), the Kazan Helicopters manufactured a batch of six Mi-8MTV-5-1 military transport helicopters. The equipment supplied to the Ministry of Defence passed all kinds of tests. The military representative office conducted QA tests of build quality and component manufacturing and assembly quality. The finished helicopters in their required specifications were inspected in the final assembly workshop to check the installation and operating capacity of on-board systems, as well as emergency crew support systems. In addition, the helicopters have been tested at the flight test facility and are ready for delivery to their operators.

The Mi-8MTV-5-1 military transport helicopter is supplied to Russia’s military and law-enforcement agencies and is designed to transport up to 4 tonnes of cargo and equipment. The helicopter can also fly search-and-rescue missions and carry out a number of specialised tasks.
