Russia will establish a service center for maintenance of Mi-35M helicopters in Brazil by the end of 2015, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the head of Rosoboronexport’s regional department, Sergey Ladigin.

At present the deliveries of 12 Mi-35M attack helicopters to Brazil are being completed in accordance with the contract signed in 2008. "The corresponding offset agreement assumes establishment of the service center for maintenance of Mi-35M helicopters by the end of 2015. We are working closely with Brazilian air forces in this area", — he said.

Sergey Ladigin is confident that Russia in cooperation with Brazil will be able to provide the highest level of post-sales support for Russian-produced helicopters.
