| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India chooses Russian Ka-226T as LUH: In May 2015, India's Defence Acquisition Council approved a major raft of deals on a non-tender basis for its armed forces, which included the Ka-226T light helicopter made by Russian Helicopters. The company said that it is yet to receive official communication from the Indian side regarding the deal. The DAC’s decision does not mean that a contract will be concluded immediately. Rosoboronexport, in partnership with Russian Helicopters will, on the Russian side, enact the contract for the delivery of helicopters under the ‘Make in India’ programme, and the helicopters will be produced by Russian Helicopters’ Kumertau Aviation Production Enterprise. |
