Russian Helicopters

Russian Helicopters, formally JSC Russian Helicopters, is a Russian holding company that unites most of the country's helicopter manufacturers. It was established in 2006 as a subsidiary of Oboronprom, which transferred its helicopter assets to it, and its principal shareholder is the state corporation Rostec. In 2007 it brought together the Mil, Kamov and Kazan Helicopter Plant design bureaus, the Kazan, Ulan-Ude and Rostvertol production plants, component makers, a repair plant and service and marketing companies, and by the end of 2010 it held controlling stakes in every helicopter manufacturing plant in Russia. It produces light, medium, medium-heavy and heavy helicopters for military and civilian use, along with unmanned aerial vehicles, repair and service, and exports to customers on several continents. Annual output has ranged from 121 helicopters delivered in 2007 to 311 built in 2023. A planned London share offering in 2011 was postponed because demand for the shares was low.
