Helicopter Contract Signed with China
The Rostov Helicopter Production Complex (Rosvertol) signed a contract for the delivery of a Mi-26TS helicopter, the best-selling helicopter in the world, to China at Airshow China 2008 on Tuesday. A number of documents connected with helicopter deliveries were also signed.
“This is the second contract for the delivery of Russian Mi-36 helicopters to China,” Rosvetol general director Boris Slyusar told Interfax. “The first was signed in August 2006 for the leasing of a Mi-26 helicopter to a Chinese company for three years. Later, the Chinese company bought it outright. We signed the transfer for it today too.”
The cost of the contract was not revealed. Experts estimate that the cost of single Mi-26 helicopter is $20-25 million, depending on options.
