Russia hands over two helicopters and a radar

Delivery reportedOfficial report

The General Staff reported two Mi-8MT helicopters and a P-18 radar station received as Russian military assistance.

Details and sources

The ceremony occurred on 27 November. The same release explicitly distinguishes the earlier April delivery of two helicopters and nine BRDM-2M vehicles. No price or current serviceability is established.

Scope

Source review through 1 November 2026. Historical national defence accounts cover 1994–2003 and remain separate from SIPRI’s broader estimates through 2025. No defence-only current budget is inferred from combined security totals. Personnel estimates stop in 2020. Programme accounts use U.S. fiscal years; Dastan employment covers the whole issuer. Announcements, declared transfers, handovers and public displays remain distinct.

Method & coverage

This is a curated public-source reference, not a complete inventory. Each record identifies an event or publication date, implementation stage and evidence type; the detail explains which date is known. An official report establishes what the issuer said; a contract does not establish delivery, and delivery does not establish readiness. Unknown quantities remain unknown. Records count publications or developments, not weapons, personnel or military strength.

Official report
The issuing institution reports the event or figure; this is not independent corroboration.
Independently corroborated
Distinct independent evidence supports the specific recorded claim.
Estimate
A sourced estimate, with its method and limits retained.
Unresolved
The available evidence does not establish the specific point.
