Ha,ha. Quite a commercial.

Russian products look ugly but are built rugged. If you can get past the aesthetics, they're perfectly serviceable. As the old saying has it, real beauty's more than skin deep.

We are also in space with them. I'm not going to fall for some dumb competition ad. (even though we are) ;)

Mi-17? India uses them on the Himalayas. Supposedly the only military helicopter that can fly there.

One of these days, someone will write a great history of these helicopters in various conflicts.

The group I am working with on a major northern oil and gas project want to buy a whole fleet of Russian helicopters for the project.
Forget unreliable ice roads and dodgy northern airfields, these soviet helicopters can carry basically anything, from anywhere to anywhere.
Unfortunately the FAA and their Canadian counterparts don't share our enthusiasm. However there is no western alternative.
