Argentina Signs Defence Deal With Russia
Written by thomas · Filed Under DefenseApril 27, 2010
Argentina announced plans to buy two
MI-171E transport helicopters from Russia.
The $30 million deal was brought together
by Argentina’s Defence Ministry and Russia’s
government arms export agency Rosoboronexport.
Argentina joins seven other Latin American
countries, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru,
Uruguay and Venezuela, that have increasingly
turned to Russia for weapons.
The Russians also signed the purported $1.5 billion
contract, winning over rival EADS’s Tiger and the
Italo-Turkish production of the AW-TAI A129
Mongoose.
