[マニラ 15日 ロイター] – The Philippines, which has stopped getting Russian helicopters, is negotiating with the United States to invest in Chinook transport helicopters. Romualdez, Ambassador to the United States, issued on the 15th.
The Philippines had prepared to acquire 16 Mi-17 armed forces transport helicopters from Russia but canceled a offer value 12.7 billion pesos ($227.35 million) due to issues over US sanctions around Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Again in June it was a blank slate.
“The cancellation of the deal is generally mainly because of the war in Ukraine,” Romualdez advised reporters on an online discussion board.
He mentioned the United States was completely ready to provide helicopters for the cash the Philippines would have paid Russia, including servicing, services and likely pieces.
