The Russian state-owned company Rosoboronexport has announced plans to open a helicopter maintenance and repair center in Peru.
The goal is to provide technical support to maintain the operational readiness of Russian aircraft in use by Latin American countries. The exact location and other details of the facility have not yet been revealed.
Peru has a significant fleet of Russian helicopters, including models such as Mi-2, Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-171, and Mi-35, used by the Armed Forces. The establishment of the center coincides with Rosoboronexport’s participation in a defense fair to be held in the country in April. During the event, the company will showcase a range of military equipment, including helicopters, fighter jets, and transport aircraft.
In addition to Russian products, Peru’s military arsenal includes equipment from countries such as the United States, Europe, and Asia. Recently, Peru received South Korean K808 White Tiger armored vehicles, demonstrating the diversity of origins of its military material.
