This is a thread for all news regarding Russian exports of helos.
I made this thread, after running across a reference to deliveries of 2 Ansat helos to Laos. It was strange, because I couldn't find other sources to back it. Has anyone else come across anything? The deal was made in 2009. The contract is mentioned in multiple sources, and deliveries were supposedly planned in 2009, along with deliveries to Kazakhstan (which I also can't find references to).
Here's the source (in Russian): ÖÀÌÒÎ / Íîâîñòè / Äìèòðèé Ìåäâåäåâ îáñóäèò â Ëàîñå øèðîêèé ñïåêòð âîïðîñîâ äâóñòîðîííåãî ñîòðóäíè÷åñòâà, â òîì ÷èñëå â ñôåðå ÂÒÑ
They bought 12 Mi-17s in the 90s, which makes perfect sense, but the Ansat purchase seems very strange.
