Russian aircraft get tagged with a bad rep more because of the countries they sell them to who fail to properly maintain them. Helicopters in particular are labor-intensive.

Years ago their was a poster here who was assigned to Egypt as part of Peace Keeping force. He said you would not want to fly on any of the Russian helos. Poor maintenance. No maintenance.
