Russia loses $600 mln Indian attack helicopter tender
Russian Mi-28N Night Hunter has lost a tender on the delivery of 22 attack helicopters to the Indian military in strong competition with the American AH-64D Apache, an Indian Defense Ministry source said on Tuesday.We decided not to choose the Mi-28 for technical reasons. Our experts believe that the Mi-28N did not meet the requirements of the tender on 20 positions, while the Apache showed better performance, the source said. The future contract, worth at least $600 million, envisions an optional delivery of additional 22 helicopters. Posted by: john frum 2011-10-25 |
