President Jonathan Approves the Purchase Of Several Newest Russian Helicopters by ceo4eva: 10:32am On Sep 15, 2014
The new contract for delivery of several state-of-the-art Mi-35 and Mi-171Sh helicopters has been recently signed between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Russian Federation.

This has been confirmed by the Deputy Director General of Rosoboronexport, Sergei Goreslavsky, in a statement obtained by airrecognition.com.

The contract was signed in August this year. Unfortunately, the official did not confirm the exact number of helicopters subject to delivery. According to previous statements by Nigeria’s DHQ, the most likely number is 6 or 7.

He emphasised that the models are in demand on the African continent, noted that Mozambique is also among the customers. Mr Goreslavsky revealed that Mi-171Sh flying machines are in demand on global markets. They can be delivered in various configurations, with air defence, reconnaissance equipment and missile weaponry.

The helicopter can carry a cargo of 4 tons maximum, or transport up to 36 paratroopers, or carry 12 injured on stretchers.

The offered models are on service in the Russian Armed Forces since 2009.

At the same time, several experts have expressed concerns over ability of the Russian side to carry out timely delivery due to crisis in Ukraine and US/EU sanctions imposed on Moscow.
Absolute majority of engines for Russian-made helicopters were supplied from Ukraine. Due to current crisis in the relations between the two countries, such cooperation is no more possible.

The order to procure extra helicopters was given by President Jonathan himself.

Good. But for taking 5 years and spending nearly 5 Trillion naira to remember he needs to buy Mi-35 and Mi-171Sh helicopters, the Zoologist must go. We cannot survive at this rate.

Even as Acting President, there were Boko Haram attacks and he never remembered to equip our soldiers, he must go. We need leaders that understand the challenge we are facing and what needs to be done. Not one that preside over Corruption.

nobody is asking anybody to stand anything, if you cant stand the heat, then leave the kitchen. So you expect grieved citizens not to express concern about developments in their land abi? What do you even thing being a president is all about, you think its all about sitting down an signing papers and travelling abroad to make big speeches. As a resident you ve placed yourself in one of the most criticised office in the nation cu you ve vowed to serve the people, and if you cant play that role, nobody can be blamed
