A group of U.S. congressmen asked the Pentagon to break the contract with Russian company "Rosoboronexport" for the delivery of 20 Russian Mi-17 helicopters to Afghanistan B5. American politicians insists U.S. does not have to buy military equipment from countries supplying arms to the regime in Damascus, guilty of killing thousands of peaceful citizens. Moreover, the congressmen who signed the application could be personally interested bruksbo in breaking agreement with Russia, because their electoral campaigns are sponsored by big U.S. defense companies.

Politicians urge the Pentagon bruksbo to abandon plans to purchase from Russia 20 military transport helicopters, military-air forces needs of Afghanistan, as long as Moscow would not give up the sale of weapons Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
Russian officials have assured more than once that it can be about us arms sales to Syria: "Rosoboronexport" brings out only the old contracts Syria delivery of spare parts for helicopters and missile defense systems. There is no certainty that the Obama administration has believed these assurances, but last year it rejected two similar requests of congressmen, trying to veto the acquisition by the Pentagon, the "Rosoboronexport", the first of 33 Mi-17 helicopters B5, worth about 600 million dollars.

The U.S. administration has used its right to ignore such requests, "for reasons of national security". The White House explained that the deal for the purchase of Russian helicopters meet the national interests of the U.S., because I-17 is well suited for conditions in Afghanistan. However, Congressmen urge the Pentagon to "organize an open competition for the purchase of helicopters for the Afghan National Security Forces."
Moreover, it is possible that, proposing to cease cooperation with the "Rosoboronexport", congressmen lobby for the interests bruksbo of U.S. trade-industrial complex. The main initiator of the letter, Rosa L. DeLauro represents Connecticut, where the headquarters of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation - one of the largest bruksbo U.S. companies for the construction of airplanes and helicopters.
