Estimated reading time 2 minutes, 33 seconds.

Kazan Helicopters of Russian Helicopters Holding Company will present the light utility Ansat helicopter in law enforcement configuration and the Mi-17V-5 military and transport helicopter at the static exposition of the Army-2018 International Military-Technical Forum.

The police version of the Ansat helicopter has been designed to perform patrol and rescue operations, as well as to render assistance in emergency situations and ecological catastrophes. The helicopter is equipped with SON-730 electro-optical system ensuring round-the-clock surveillance, detection and recognition of objects. This device can recognize car plates, distinguish people and transmit data in real time to the ground indicator of a command post within the range of five kilometers.

The SX-5 adjustable searchlight ensures illumination of a target during night, and the TS-200WR external loudspeaker can be used for voice commands and public notification.

“Army-2018 forum is one of the largest platforms in the world used for demonstration of armament and military materiel; Russian and foreign customers will be in for a treat at the exposition of Kazan Helicopters,” said Yuriy Pustovgarov, managing director of Kazan Helicopters. “We will showcase two modern helicopters, Mi-17V-5 and Ansat, fitted with state-of-the-art equipment for performing a wide range of missions for law enforcement agencies.”

The Ansat is a light twin-engine utility helicopter, and depending on modification it can accommodate up to nine people. To date, the maximum take-off weight of the helicopter has been increased up to 3.6 tons, with a payload of 1.3 tons, a cruise speed of up to 260 kilometers per hour, a maximum speed of 275 km/h, and full-tanks range of 520 km.

The Mi-17V-5 military and transport helicopter is used to transport cargoes and materiel with the weight of up to four tons. The helicopter can also be used for other missions, such as search-and-rescue operations.

Mi-17V-5 is equipped with state-of-the-art communication and navigation suites, and the cabin is fitted with equipment compatible with night vision goggles.

During the long-term operation, the Mi-17V-5 helicopter has proven that it successfully copes with the missions in any climatic conditions and is widely regarded as one of the best helicopters in the world in its class, according to Kazan Helicopters.

The Mi-17 type helicopters produced at the facilities of Kazan Helicopters have been delivered to 80 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the CIS.
