China signs contract for firefighting Kamov Ka-32, 2012


It has signed the civil administration of Ordos in Inner Mongolia in the contract for the purchase of Kamov Ka-one at -32 and firefighting duties.

Russian helicopter deal was announced on 24 October, and also includes a fire control system simple, horizontal water hoses and dumping VSU-5-water system.

Russian helicopters won a tender for the firefighting helicopter in August 2011. Delivery is scheduled for September 2012.

And the Administration ordered a Ka 32A11BC version Kamov, which is already approved in Europe, Canada and China.

This model is already in use by operators in Spain, Portugal, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Greece and South Korea.
