The potential of the developer and manufacturer of aviation equipment "Russian Helicopters" continues to grow. The re-equipment of production is in full swing.

The new machines have all the advantages of the previously produced Mi-8 models, but are equipped with new engines, onboard avionics and other systems.

The Ministry emphasized the importance of gradually replacing the Mi-8 helicopters being decommissioned due to their technical condition.

This will ensure a seamless transition, preserving the transport accessibility of the regions and eliminating risks for passengers.

State support measures are being implemented within the framework of the federal project "Production of Aircraft and Helicopters." They are aimed at expanding production facilities, stimulating sales of aviation equipment, creating an effective after-sales service system and training personnel.
