As Reported in Hindustan Times (February 17, 2013)
Russia may be the winner if the existing deal with Augusta Westland is cancelled. Sources said that to replace ageing MI8 MI17V5 would be inducted. Due to phasing out of MI8 next year there would be no formal global tender as it may delay the process. Every military purchases are to be made by global tender but in this case it would not be necessary as it would be a following order as said by the sources.
