헬리콥터 필리핀, Mi-17 중수송헬기 구입계약 취소

[위종민]

필리핀이 수백만 달러 규모의 러시아 Mi-17 중수송헬기 도입계약을 취소하고 다른 유사한 능력을 갖춘 헬기 도입 방안을 연구중이라고 합니다.

지난 3월 10일 델핀 로렌자나 전 필리핀 국방장관이 2021년 11월 모스크바에서 도입계약을 체결했다고 발표한 뒤 몇 달도 안돼 취소된 것으로 이 헬기는 병력 및 물자수송과 재난구호 임무에 사용될 예정이었습니다. 

Mi-17은 병력수송능력 24명, 부상자 수송 12명, 내부화물 4,000kg, 외부 슬링시 5,000kg으로 공중량 7,489kg, 최대이륙중량 13,000kg/13,500kg의 쌍발 헬기네요. UH-60M은 외부 슬링시 4,100kg, 최대 이륙중량 9,979kg으로 Mi-17보다는 약간 작고, 중국의 Z-8(아에로스파샬 SA-321)이 병력 27명, 부상자 15명, 최대 이륙중량 13,800kg으로 체급이 비슷한데 대신 이 쪽은 3발기입니다. 어떤 기체를 대신 뽑을 지 궁금하네요.

The cancellation of an order for Mil Mi-17s from Russia has the Philippines seeking alternative heavy-lift rotorcraft. (Mil)

The Philippines has scrapped a multimillion-dollar deal with Russia to acquire Mil Mi-17 heavy-lift helicopters.

A source in the Philippine Air Force (PAF) confirmed the cancellation to Janes and added that the Technical Working Group of the project is now considering other platforms with similar capabilities for acquisition.

The cancellation of the order has interrupted Manila's ability to close a long-standing requirement of the country for heavy-lift, utility helicopters. According to the PAF source, the Mi-17s would primarily have been used for high-cargo operations involving troops and equipment. The Philippines military had also planned to use the helicopters for High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR).

The cancellation comes just months after the former Philippines Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana acknowledged on 10 March that a deal had been signed with Moscow in November 2021. The deal was among a handful of major military purchases approved by the former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte before his departure from office in June 2022.
