Mi-2 was almost the only light helicopter of the USSR (there was the Ka-26, but it was lighter and was produced in much smaller numbers) and it was totally produced in Poland. US will never give Poland the production of its helicopters or warships ships (I mean for US needs). In the best case - screwdriver assembly of obsolete models for sale in the third world countries.The finest models were never transfered to Poland by the USSR.And,let us not kid ourselves,countries like Poland,Romania had an aeronautic industry,producing aircrafts,even before WW2 .The USSR refused to grant licenses to Romania,so we produced mainly Western helicopters.
