Russia to Sign Afghan Mi-17 Option by Year-End

A delivery schedule for an option order of Mil Mi-17 transport helicopters for the Afghanistan Armed Forces will be signed by Russia and the U.S. by the end of the year, Russia's defense exports holding Rosoboronexport said on Thursday.
Rosoboronexport signed a $367.5 milliondeal with the United States in May 2011 for delivery of 21 Mi-17V5s, which the U.S. will transfer to Afghanistan. According to U.S. data, the deal could be worth up to $900 million including spares and servicing.
The contract also includes an option for delivery of a further 12 Mi-17s.
"In February this year, we signed an additional protocol for delivery of two helicopters as part of the option deal, and we plan to deliver ten more by the end of this year," said Rosoboronexport's head of helicopter exports, Grigory Kozlov.
Rosoboronexport is counting on further development of military-technical cooperation with the United States, including with regard to sales to third nations, he said.

Russia Refuses to Allocate $10 mln to Afghan Army

Russian presidential envoy to Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov

Russia has denied a NATO request to allocate $10 million for the support of the Afghan Army, the Russian presidential envoy to Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, said on Thursday following the alliance’s summit in Chicago.
“At the summit…, it was stated that after 2014 (when international military forces withdraw from Afghanistan) support for the Afghan Army should continue,” said Kabulov, who also heads the Russian Foreign Ministry’s department on Afghanistan.
“For the United States it has already become difficult to bear this burden, they want to share it with NATO partners,” Kabulov continued. “They also hinted that it would be good if Russia allocated $10 million.”
He said Russia would not participate in NATO’s Afghanistan initiatives. “For several years we had been knocking on the door of the ISAF suppliers club. But this door was reluctant to open. Now they invited us and started hinting…In response we noted that we’ve long been rendering aid to Afghanistan,” the Kommersant daily quoted Kabulov as saying.
Russia had been reluctant to accept an invitation from NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen to join the summit, which focused on the situation in Afghanistan, as well as on the alliance’s European missile defense plans.
Relations between NATO and Moscow have grown sour lately over the missile shield issue, but the sides have cooperated closely in the war in Afghanistan, which has been the main source of heroin flowing into Russia through its porous borders with former Soviet Central Asian republics.
Russia has allowed NATO to transit cargos to and from Afghanistan through its territory, and its continued support is crucial for the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Taliban as foreign troops are set to leave the country in 2014.
Moscow is preparing to allow the United States to use an airport in Ulyanovsk, the birthplace of Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, to transit non-lethal cargo to and from Afghanistan.

L’équipement de l’armée de l’air afghane au centre d’une controverse entre la Brésil et les Etats-Unis

Super Tucano
Vs
AT-6 Texan II

En 2014, l’armée de l’air afghane devra voler de ses propres ailes ! Si des pilotes afghans sont déjà formés depuis quelques années au sein d’une Académie de l’air de Kaboul parrainée par l’Otan (la National Military Academy of Afghanistan), les autorités afghanes attendent toujours que leur soient livrés des avions d’attaque légers capables d’appuyer les soldats afghans en cas de combats au sol. Problème : les deux constructeurs potentiels se livrent depuis des mois une bataille juridique et technique qui ne se terminera pas avant janvier 2013...

http://www.rfi.fr/emission/20120610-equ ... etats-unis

pour ceux qui ne peuvent écouter le fichier audio allant avec l'article voici un résumé de votre serviteur (moi ):

le gouvernement afghan s’inquiète de la lenteur du développement de sa force aérienne avec le programme LAS (Light Air Support), l'USAir Force devant sélectionner un avion de lutte anti-guérilla et au Pentagon d'en livrer 20 aux afghans. Décembre 2011 le Super Tucano d'Embraer est sélectionné au detriment du AT-6 Texan II de Hawker-Beechcraft qui proteste. L'appel d'offre est finalement relancé mais entre-temps Hawker-Beechcraft a déposé le bilan et est placée sous protection de la loi sur les faillites. Du point de vue d'Embraer les spécifications techniques n'ayant pas changé le Super Tucano devrait logiquement de nouveau l'emporter. Seule la manière d'attribuer les points lors des tests en en attribuant plus à la partie anti-guérilla. Ce programme de 380 millions $ est important pour Embraer mais vital pour Hawker-Beechcraft en faillite, les afghans dans tout ça ne verront pas leurs avions avant le deuxième semestre 2014 au plutôt
