First Shipment Of Mi-171Sh Aircraft To Be Delivered To Peru In May

Defense Ministry To Receive Six Transport Helicopters This Year

Three Mi-171Sh helicopters ordered by the Ministry of Defense of Peru will be delivered later this year by Russian Helicopters. The aircraft will be manufactured by the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant (UUAP).


Mi-171Sh

The delivery is pursuant to a contract signed in 2010 which provides for the delivery of 6 Mi-171Sh military transports to Peru. The first shipment of three helicopters has already been produced by UUAP and is now prepared for delivery to the customer. The helicopters will be delivered to Peru by air by an Antonov An-124. The second batch of Mi-171Sh helicopters is scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2011. The contract also provides for the delivery of equipment and flight and engineering staff training for the customer.

The multi-role Mi-171Sh helicopters are equipped with new systems raising their efficiency in combat, and also main systems and crew protection, radioelectronic and instrument equipment that allows flights in difficult weather during night and day. The Ministry of Defense of Peru is planning to use Mi-171Sh helicopters for a wide scope of tasks, including fighting drug trafficking.

Peru has been operating rotorcraft made by UUAP for more than 10 years. In particular, civil operators in the country have several Mi-171 helicopters. They highly esteem rotorcraft of Russian make, noting their performance, reliability, ease of operation and maintenance, and capability to fly in difficult conditions.

The number of countries operating Mi-171 and Mi-171Sh manufactured by UUAP is constantly growing. These rotorcraft are successfully operated in Peru and other countries of the region.
