Russia, Kazakhstan sign contract for Su-30SM jets
TEHRAN, Sep. 12 (MNA) – Russia and Kazakhstan have signed
a contract for the delivery of 12 Sukhoi Su-30SM fighter jets.
Russian presidential aide for military and technical
cooperation Vladimir Kozhin told TASS on Tuesday that Russia and Kazakhstan
have signed a contract for the delivery of 12 Sukhoi Su-30SM fighter jets.
"Yes, this framework contract has indeed been signed
at the Army-2017 International Military Technical Forum. The terms of the contract
stipulate its gradual implementation within three years since the first
delivery," Kozhin said when asked whether a contract for the supply of 12
Su-30SM jets to Kazakhstan was signed at the Army-2017 forum.
According to Kozhin, it will be implemented within the
framework of the 2013 treaty on military-technical cooperation between Russia
and Kazakhstan, which envisages direct interaction between the Irkut
Corporation and Kazakhstan’s government-run enterprise Kazspetsexport. Source: mehrnews.com
Mi-17 Hip multimission helicopter
The improved version of the Mi-8 is the Mi-17 Hip
multipurpose helicopter, also known as the Mi-8TMB. It is specifically designed
for improved capabilities at high altitudes and in hot weather conditions.
The Mi-17 is identifiable from the Mi-8 by the additional
air filters on the turbine air intakes, as well as left hand side mounted tail
rotor, required by the more powerful TB-3-117A turboshaft engines it is fitted
with.
The Mi-17 can climb at the rate of 8m/s. The maximum and
cruise speed of the helicopter are 250km/h and 225km/h respectively. The range
of the helicopter is 465km and the service ceiling is 6,000m. The aircraft
