In the report of the Chinese TV channel from the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant, military transport helicopters Mi-171Sh were "spotted". The TV reporter indicated that they are intended for the People's Liberation Army of China.

The American edition of The Drive drew attention to this.

“The faint markings and light gray color scheme suggest that the new batch of helicopters may have been purchased to support the PLA special operations forces or combat search and rescue operations,” says the author of the material in The Drive.

The military sides have a completely different color scheme, dark green or green with ocher “camouflage”. But at the same time, the journalist believes that the main reason for the purchase is the tense situation in the area of ​​the Himalayan border with India.

It is believed that the Mi-171Sh is well suited for work in difficult mountainous terrain.
