ZHUHAI, China, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Russian Helicopter subsidiary Rostvertol JSC has delivered another Mi-26TC heavy transport helicopter to China.

The delivered aircraft was the third Mi-26TC sold to China under an agreement with China's Lectern Aviation Supplies Co. Ltd.

The helicopter is scheduled to serve in one of the fire-hazardous regions of China, Russian Helicopter said in a news release from an international air exhibition in Zhuhai.

Russian Helicopter said a new contract is in the works with Lectern Aviation for the purchase of another Mi-26TC.

The company also said it is executing a contract to deliver 32 multirole Mi-171E helicopters manufactured by Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant to China. UUAP delivered 24 Mi-171 helicopters to a Chinese customer in 2007.

Russian Helicopter is highlighting a number of aircraft at the Zhuhai Airshow, which begins Tuesday. Among them: the light, multirole Ansat and Ka-226T; medium Mi-17 and Ka-32A11BC type helicopters, the new medium-to-heavy Mi-38; and the combat Mi-35M and Mi-28N Night Hunter.
