In what some on Capitol Hill are calling an outrage, the Pentagon announced plans to purchase 21 Mi-17 Russian helicopters from Rosoboronexport.

With a taxpayer price tag of $375 million, the purchase of Russian made helicopters will be completed over the next 4 years.

Worse yet is that they announced a contingency plan to purchase additional helicopters worth $550 million.

Although US taxpayers are buying these helicopters, they are not for us.

They are for Afghanistan to help build up their fleet of the Russian made helicopters.
