The consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and large-scale Western sanctions led to the freezing of the enterprise at which India and the aggressor country russia were going to produce helicopters.
The Moscow Times writes about this with reference to the material of The Times of India.
This is the Indo-russian Helicopters enterprise, the agreement on the establishment of which Moscow and New Delhi signed in 2016. The total cost of the project was estimated at USD 1 billion.
This enterprise was created to localize the production of at least 200 Ka-226T helicopters.
It was planned that at least 140 Ka-226T helicopters would be assembled at the Indian enterprise Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
According to The Times of India, the joint venture has actually been frozen. The reason was the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and the sanctions imposed against russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in May of this year it became known that russia had acknowledged the failure of the development of the Baikal aircraft, with which the russians wanted to replace the outdated An-2.
We also wrote that in the summer of 2024, the media reported that China had excluded russia from the project to develop the S929 long-haul passenger aircraft.
