Russian aerospace conglomerate Oboronprom has started “large-scale, long-term” cooperation with European manufacturer Agusta- Westland for helicopter distribution, maintenance and production.

The cooperation was outlined in a letter of intent in the summer of 2007. In May the two companies and Loyd’s Investments, a Russia-based firm that specializes in marketing and sales of aviation products in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union area, signed a distribution agreement for 10 AgustaWestland helicopters. The resulting firm order, worth ?65 million ($100 million), is for two AW119 Kes, two AW109 Powers, four Grands and two AW139s.
