10/21/2003
"Russia has lost it's army The armed forces of Russia are in such a condition that we have definitely come off second best. The Russian army needs modern helicopters, Russia Air Force Commander-in-chief Colonel General Vladimir Mikhailov told RIA Novosti Monday. "The number of modern helicopters of the Ka-50 Black Shark and Mi-26 class makes up about 10 per cent of the total helicopter fleet in Russia's Air Force." The commander-in-chief says that operational condition of the country's aviation technology is a bit over 35 per cent now, making it the most sensitive issue for the Air Force." http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/88/...3_defense.html Pete |
