Moscow / 22 October 2012 - Russian Helicopters will showcase a range of helicopters designed for the military and security services at Interpolitex-2012, which takes place on 23-26 October at the All-Russian Exhibition Centre in Moscow. The Russian Helicopters display can be found at stand 2B5 in pavilion 75.
The company will bring a strong line-up to the exhibition, including the Ka-226/Ka-226T. Modular design gives this model the flexibility to carry out missions ranging from border patrol and transportation to supporting airborne troops and search-and-rescue.
The light multirole Ansat is another advanced model that has attracted commercial interest for use in special police missions.
Russian Helicopters will also showcase the Mi-171A2, the latest addition to the Mi-8/17 family, which has played a key role in national security in Russia and other CIS countries for many years, flying fire-fighting, medical, emergency and many other missions.
