Herzliya, Israel, April 2015 – BIRD Aerosystems Ltd.
BIRD Aerosystems secured additional contract to protect two Mi-17 operating under the United Nations (UN) mission in Africa.
The project is a follow-on project for the UN and will enable the UN helicopters to operate in a secure and protected way in the most demanding areas.
