Russian Helicopters Delivers First of Three Ansats to Republika Srpska

Russian Helicopters has delivered the first of three Ansat helicopters to the Ministry of Interior of the Republika Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

The rotorcraft, which is equipped for medical operations, is the first Ansat delivered to a customer in Europe.

Equipped with a stretcher and a medical shelf, the helicopter cabin has place for transporting one patient and two chairs for accompanying doctors.

The helicopter is also equipped with a system for artificial lung ventilation, tele-ECG allowing to monitor cardiac activity in real time, and various other equipment for the evacuation of patients.

The delivery set includes five seats, which can be installed instead of the medical module enabling it to carry 7 passengers in the helicopter cabin.

"This delivery testifies that Ansat is competitive in the European market, and we see potential for new orders," said Andrey Boginsky, Director General of Russian Helicopters. "I am confident that European operators will appreciate the favorable cost of operating the helicopter, its versatility and reliability. Two more Ansats will be handed over to the law enforcement agencies of Republika Srpska in 2021 and 2022. They will be additionally equipped with searchlights, fast-rope deployment system, a winch and an external sling."

The contract for three helicopters to the Republic of Srpska also includes the training of three technicians and two pilots at the Kazan Helicopters Aviation Training Center.

The program included training in the design and maintenance of the airframe, power plant and systems of Ansat helicopter for aircraft technicians, as well as theoretical training, classes on the new Ansat simulator and practical flight training for pilots. The cadets successfully passed the exams and received documents that confirm their qualifications.

The Aviation Training Center will provide further multi-stage training of flight and technical personnel as more helicopters are delivered. During the next 2 years, 4 more pilots and 6 technicians will go through training.
