Rosoboronexport JSC (part of the Rostec State Corporation) signed the first foreign trade contract for the supply to a foreign customer of the Mi-38T medium-range multi-purpose helicopters manufactured by the Kazan Helicopter Plant, which is part of the Russian Helicopters of the Rostec State Corporation.
“The signed contract was another starting point in the implementation of the Strategy for the development of the military-technical cooperation system adopted by the President of Russia in 2019. A new Russian helicopter product was successfully launched on the world market in record time, which was largely unique in its segment. The Mi-38T was created entirely from domestic high-tech.
"Its first flight took place at the end of 2018, and today, in addition to the already contracted machines, Rosoboronexport is processing several more applications for their delivery to foreign partners," said general director of Rosoboronexport Alexander Mikheev.
In countries in Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, geographic conditions often make it difficult to deliver goods or personnel to their destination on the ground. We have to think through complex logistics routes and involve several links. This significantly increases the timelines for the task and financial costs.
The unique multi-purpose helicopter Mi-38T avoids unnecessary waste of time and money. This machine was designed according to the classic single-rotor scheme and incorporates the experience and achievements of Russian Helicopters JSC and innovative technologies.
