As UNIAN reported earlier, on May 25, Ukraine and France signed in Paris a treaty on the aviation security system, which provides for the supply of 55 modern Airbus helicopters to Ukraine.
The document was signed by Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy and Finance of France Delphine Geny-Stephann.
The agreement concerns helicopters of three models – H145, H125 and H225, which will replenish the already existing helicopter fleet of the Soviet-made MI-8 aircraft.
The new helicopters will serve the State Emergency Service, State Border Guard Service, National Guard, and National Police.
Airbus Helicopters is one of the largest aircraft building companies producing passenger, cargo, and military transport aircraft.
