In a gesture of support for Ukraine, Argentina has donated two Mi-171E multipurpose helicopters to the country, originally acquired from Russia, as reported by the Financial Times on February 29. The decision for the transfer was personally endorsed by Argentinian President Javier Milei.
President Milei, who has expressed a preference for fostering relationships with nations that prioritize freedom, such as the United States, Israel, and Ukraine, has made a significant move by donating these military helicopters, which were initially manufactured in Russia.
The specifics of the agreement between Argentina and Ukraine were not made public.

Freedom First!
Should have used those to drop communists out of them.
Are you saying Ukraine is one of our allies?
Nations to prioritize freedom… Like Ukraine? That’s hilarious.
‘Copters should be xfered to Britain for the defense of the Falklands.....
Couple of more things off the Argentinian budget. Win-win for Milei.
“Are you saying Ukraine is one of our allies?”
Massively so yes. Indeed.
Wh have 3 important signed agreements with Ukraine.
Thats why Trump initiated the move to send large shipments of high-tech US weaponry.
Obama only sent blankets and pillows to Ukraine. Trump was appalled about Obamas behavior.
One signed in 1994 (The Budapest Memorandum)

////////////////////////////////////
Preamble
The United States and Ukraine:
Reaffirm the importance of our relationship as friends and strategic partners, based both on our shared values and common interests, including a commitment to a Europe that is whole, free, democratic, and at peace. Reiterate that the strategic partnership existing between our two nations is critical for the security of Ukraine and Europe as a whole.
Underscore that our partnership is founded on common democratic values, respect for human rights and the rule of law, and a commitment to Ukraine’s implementation of the deep and comprehensive reforms necessary for full integration into European and Euro-Atlantic institutions in order to ensure economic prosperity for its people.
Commend Ukraine’s significant progress towards improving its democracy as well as its commitment to continuing democratic reform, which are crucial for advancing democracy throughout Eastern Europe.
Emphasize unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, including Crimea and extending to its territorial waters in the face of ongoing Russian aggression, which threatens regional peace and stability and undermines the global rules-based order.
Declare our determination to deepen our strategic partnership by expanding bilateral cooperation in political, security, defense, development, economic, energy, scientific, educational, cultural, and humanitarian spheres.
Affirm the commitments made to strengthen the Ukraine-U.S. strategic partnership by Presidents Zelenskyy and Biden on September 1, 2021.
Intend to use the Strategic Partnership Commission (SPC), its Working Groups and other bilateral mechanisms to maximize the potential of our cooperation and address the challenges outlined in this Charter.
Section I: Principles of Cooperation
This Charter is based on core principles and beliefs shared by both sides:
Support for each other’s sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and inviolability of borders constitutes the foundation of our bilateral relations.
Our friendship and strategic relationship stem from our fundamental mutual understanding and appreciation for the shared belief that democracy and rule of law are the chief guarantors of security, prosperity, and freedom.
Cooperation between democracies on defense and security is essential to respond effectively to threats to peace and stability.
A strong, independent, and democratic Ukraine, capable of defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity and promoting regional stability, contributes to the security and prosperity not only of the people of Ukraine, but of a Europe whole, free, democratic, and at peace.
MI17s are dorky cold wat utility and passenger birds that need perpetual parts and service.
And you’re a pile of smelly Eurotrash that needs to worry his own $**thole, not ours.
GTFO
Well, Trump made more that a few blunders in character judgement.
Except Britain wouldn’t want this legacy trash.
Unless they like expensive maintenance intensive headaches that are easily shot down.
Troll.
I saw a glimpse of you recently on one of your pro-Biden pro-Uke threads. You were getting flamed right and left. Deservedly so. As you are getting attacked on this thread also.
You’re from France? Great. Well, I’m from Texas. USA. And we are getting invaded and attacked as is Ukraine. Maybe not so severe, but that’s the price the ukes pay for for forking over Russia.
“And you’re a pile of smelly Eurotrash that needs to worry his own $**thole, not ours.”
