Chinook might be the practical solution for the high mountains, but don't don't you think we need more of the MI-26 for heavy lifting for the rest of the country, especially where the C-130 and C-17 cannot work?

Usable payload (excluding fuel) of 20tons for the Mi-26 vs 11tons of the chinook means 2 chinooks would be required to carry what a single Mi-26 can carry.

If we are buying 10 chinooks, then we should compliment it with buying 5 Mi-26 along with it.

Gov should have licensed manufactured it when bought..

Even 10 Chinooks and 5 MI-26 are too less..

We need at least 50 chinooks and 25 MI-26 ..
