thread.. I am thinking of getting the information collated about the performance of the Russian Transports Rotary/Winged aircrafts in service with the various armed forces..

How they compare with their western counterparts??

And

Whether they provide good alternatives TODAY for the other options availaible in the market doing the same job..

Use this for reference on the options etc..
