"The program is based on a twelve-month basis, during which the pilots will learn all the theory.

@1000 do not make any more posts, your posts are now identical to your name, don't ruin this. On topic though, that a lot of Mi-17s, having rotary airborne capabilities have proven essential in COIN operations.
 
Why not they ask for Sus from Russia which type they already have and pay for their upgrades.
 
Nice.

They should upgrade around 50 odd helis with FLAIR and rocket pods to provide recon and extra fire support.
 
one Mi17 cost alteast $15 million each, now do the math

India bought 80 Mi-17v5 for 660 million USD, so per unit price is just over 8 million. Given that Mi-17v5 is an advanced form of it, hence i deduced the Iraqi version to be a cheaper version so a lower price.

No it looks like it refers to the reported 70 new Mi171s they ordered recently, and when you add that to the existing mi-17 fleet 44-48 it adds up.

70 MI-17v5 ordered the title should be

And like master Yoda, talk you must?
 
Guys don't forget the fly away price is 8 milion $ but add to that spare parts and other services it would reach 18 million $.
