New Delhi: Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh will formally announce their induction at the Safdarjung Airport in New Delhi on Thursday.
“The Russian made Mi-17 V5 choppers will boost the BSF’s flying capability. The force is deployed for a variety of internal security tasks in some of the most difficult and inhospitable places,” said a senior BSF official.
The two Mi–17 V5s are armed with the latest avionics and night-flying capabilities, a long-time requirement of the border guards, also involved in anti-Maoist operations in extremist zones.
The BSF air wing has a fleet of four Fixed Wing (FW) aircraft (Embraer-01, Avro- 02 and SKA B-200- 01) and 13 helicopters operating under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
These helicopters operate from BSF air bases at Ranchi, Raipur, Agartala, Srinagar and the Safdarjung Airport in New Delhi.
