Duterte confirms order of Russian Transport Helicopters

President Rodrigo Duterte confirmed that the Philippines had already ordered 12 Transport Helicopters from Russia. As per Duterte’s exact words, “we have placed the orders now”.

Although he did not mention the model of the helicopter, these are likely the Mi-17 Hip Helicopters that were reported a couple of months ago that were being bought for the Philippine Air Force (PAF).

The actual number seem to be down, though, as previous reports put it at 16-17 units, but Duterte only said 12.
