All you posters moaning about the “US military buying Russian helicopters” should get a grip. The US is buying these helos FOR THE AFGHAN MILITARY. Why Russian? Because almost everything else in the Afghan aircraft inventory is Russian; the Afghans have long experience operating Russian equipment; the supply source for parts and tech support (Russia) is next door; and the MI-17 flies well at high altitudes. It’s a no-brainer.
Geez...
