Serbia receives new Russian helicopters - first in 29 years

The two Mi-17s are the first new military helicopters Serbia has bought in the past 29 years. In 1987, naval Ka-28 anti-submarine helicopters were bought from the Soviet Union, but are "no longer in service."

The transport helicopters currently in service in the Serbian Army are even older - the Mi-8s are 36 years old.

The new Mi-17s can carry 4.5 tons of cargo and travel at maximum speed of 262 kilometer per hour, taking on board 36 passengers, or 25 paratroopers and 12 wounded persons on stretchers.

The craft are 18.6 meters long and 4.7 meters high, with the maximum takeoff weight specified at 13,000 kilograms (13 tons).

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
