Further on, the talk can be about a batch of

Technical Cooperation said
BANGKOK (Thailand), November 7. /TASS/. Russia signed a
contract with Thailand in September on the delivery of two Mil Mi-17V-5
helicopters, Deputy Director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military and
Technical Cooperation Mikhail Petukhov told TASS on Tuesday.
The defense official is heading the Russian delegation at
the Defense & Security 2017 arms show in Bangkok.
"A contract was signed in September 2017 on the
delivery of two Mi-17V-5 helicopters in the interests of the Royal Thai Army.
Further on, the talk can be about a batch of rotorcraft," Petukhov said.
Russia and Thailand also signed an inter-governmental
agreement in September on military and technical cooperation, he added.
Mi-8MTV-5/Mi-17V-5 helicopters are designed to transport
passengers and cargoes and can be used to conduct rescue operations and carry
armament.
Russia’s state arms seller Rosoboronexport has offered
Kamov Ka-52 and Mi-35M rotorcraft for a tender announced by Thailand for the
purchase of attack helicopters, Petukhov said.
"The Thai side announced a tender in September for
the delivery of attack helicopters. Rosoboronexport is participating in this
tender with Ka-52 and Mi-35M helicopters," the defense official said.
Russia intends to participate in all of Thailand’s
tenders for the purchase of military products, including naval hardware, he
noted.
The Ka-52 ‘Alligator’ reconnaissance and combat
helicopter is designed to destroy tanks, armored and non-armored combat
vehicles, manpower, helicopters and other hostile aircraft on the frontline and
in tactical depth, in any weather conditions and at any time of day or night.
The Mi-35M transport and attack helicopter is designed to
destroy the armor and provide fire support for land troops, and also to
transport personnel, evacuate the wounded, carry cargoes and perform other
missions. The helicopter is fitted with cutting-edge precision weapons and is
capable of accomplishing combat missions round the clock and in any weather
conditions.
The international Asian Defense & Security 2017 arms
show is taking place in Bangkok on November 6-9. The defense exhibition has
been held under the patronage of the government and the Defense Ministry of
Thailand since 1985, traditionally bringing together the leading producers and
customers of weapon systems and military equipment for the ground forces and
the navy, aircraft and air defense means.
