PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- 12 Chinese-made (Z-9)  helicopters that were purchased by Cambodia were delivered Monday.

The delivery ceremony was held at Cambodia's Royal Armed Forces military airbase under the chairmanship of Cambodia's Defense Minister Tea Banh, and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Bo Jiangguo.

Speaking at the ceremony, Tea Banh said that the delivery of the 12 helicopters was a new historical achievement, in addition to other achievements, that the Chinese government have given Cambodia.

"The helicopters will be utilized to train and strengthen the abilities of Cambodia's Royal Armed Forces in order to defend territory and in time of disasters," he said.

He also raised the good relationship and cooperation in all sectors between Cambodia and China under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen and Chinese leaders as well as the close relationship and solidarity of both countries' citizens.

The Cambodian government supports Chinese policies and strategical partnership, he said.

The Chinese Ambassador said that the helicopters can be used for all types of needs, including carrying people and materials to help citizens in times of emergency.

THOSE HELICOPTERS ARE FOR TO EVACUATE THE CPP TOP RANKING IN CASE THEY LOSE THE BATTLE, OR TO KILL KHMER PEOPLE. THESE HELICOPTER CAN BE CONVERT INTO ATTACK HELICOPTER IN AN HOUR. AH TEA BANH SAID TO BE USED IN NATURAL DISASTER, BUT IF WE LOOK IN THE RECENT FLOOD, DID WE SEE THE GOVERNMENT EFFORT TO HELP THE FLOOD VICTIMS?

After a few years into service, only half of those 12 left for airworthy services. By October rainy season next year, there will be one crash.

THE REAL COST IS 10 MILLIONS A UNIT, THIS HELICO IS 16.25 MILLION A UNIT.SOMETHING WRONG SOMEWHERE.

THE Z9 HELICOPTER IS A CHINESE BUILD . IT IS A TRANSFER TECHNOLOGY FROM Aerospatiale Dauphin who build the sa 365.But the Harbin Z9 that sold to Cambodia, 70% of its parts are manufacture in china, therefore the price must be less.China loan for these helicopter is a cheat/ corruption inside the CPP government. The 8 billions debt is simply the debt to fill up top ranking CPP gang.

This helicopter cost only $10 million. and it is a luxury build. For an army transport, the price must be a lot less. The price was updated on nov /20 /2013.

Who is going to pay for preventive maintenance? Borrow more money? These hell-i-cop-ters, are not very reliable, easily break-down after each flight.
