KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) – The Russian Helicopters aircraft manufacturing holding is ready to start producing helicopters for Peru once an agreement is signed with the Latin American country, Vladislav Savelyev, the company's director of public procurement and military-technical cooperation, told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"There are certain requests at the moment [from Peru], they are being worked out and discussed with our customers. Once they are ready to sign contracts, we will be ready to produce the necessary number of helicopters," Savelyev said, speaking on the sidelines of the Army-2016 international military forum.
According to Savelyev, the Russian company is ready to supply aircraft of various modifications to Peru, including transport, combat and heavy transport helicopters.
In August, the Russian Helicopters holding said it had signed a contract to deliver aviation equipment for the Air Force of Peru’s Mi-35 attack helicopters with transport capabilities.
