Re: Indian Air Force To Upgrade Russian Choppers To Ferry Vvips
Indian Air Force is the air arm of the Indian armed forces. It is the world's fourth largest air force in terms of both personnel and aircraft. As you asking for Indian Air Force To Upgrade Russian Choppers To Ferry Vvips , so I am telling as per our sources with the government scrapping the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal following allegations of corruption, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is readying its fleet to ferry VVIPs during their campaign trail for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Russia-made military transport Mi-17 V-5 helicopters will be used to ferry the prime minister and other VVIPs, defence ministry sources said. As part of the deal, the government was supposed to procure 12 AW101 helicopters from Anglo-Italian defence giant AgustaWestland.
