HORSEHEADS, N.Y., Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Saudi Arabia has received two S-434 helicopters from Sikorsky Global Helicopters as part of its new light helicopter fleet.
U.S. company Sikorsky announced it delivered the S-434 light turbine helicopters, designed to support defense and civilian light utility operations, to the Saudi Arabian Ministry of the Interior.
