Pentagon Still Insists on Buying Russian Helicopters
At first the Department of Defense was justifying its decision to buy helicopters from Russia because the immediacy of warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan demanded the use of non-competitive contracts to get the necessary equipment into the hands of Iraqi and Afghan military forces as quickly as possible.
But even today, with the two wars winding down, the Pentagon is still “buying Russian” rather than American.
To date, contracts for Russian equipment (most of which has been Mi-17 helicopters) have cost $1 billion “and have almost all been sole-source or non-competitive contracts,” according to Sharon Weinberger of the Center for Public Integrity’s iWatch News. The deals include a non-competed $89 million contract awarded to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems to buy three VIP Russian helicopters for Afghanistan’s president; a $322 million deal to purchase 22 helicopters for Iraq; and another $900 million buy for Russian helicopters for Afghanistan
