India and Russia are set to sign a contract soon for the overhaul of three Mi-26 helicopters for the Indian Air Force, with Moscow also offering long-term maintenance service for IAF's Mi-17 choppers, a Russian official has said.
Russian Helicopters, a part of Rostec State Corporation, is negotiating with the Indian side the financial and technical details of the contract for these overhauls, the official said.
