India To Upgrade Six Kamov Anti-Submarine Warfare Helicopters
India will upgrade six of its Russian made Kamov 28 anti-submarine warfare helicopters besides overhaul of another four.
The Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) cleared the proposal for the upgrades on Saturday, an unnamed defense source was quoted as saying by PTI.
Of the ten Kamov 28 helicopters that were procured from the erstwhile USSR in the mid-80s, only a few are in flying condition today while the remaining have been mothballed for spares.
Under the mid-life upgrade, the six choppers will get new sensors among others while the rest four will only undergo engine overhauling.
The project, to be undertaken by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Rosoboronexport, is valued at nearly US$ 320 million (INR 2,000 crore).
