India had in 2008 signed a deal with Russia to induct 80 Mi17V5 medium lift helicopters for strengthening its chopper fleet for humanitarian and disaster relief missions and transport operations.
The contract was later expanded for delivery of 151 Mi17V5 helicopters.
The first batch of these helicopters came to India in September 2011.
In February 2012, the IAF had formally Mi17V5 helicopters from Russia to enhance its operational capabilities including carrying troops and cargo to high altitude areas.
The helicopter is fitted with a self-defence system against heat seeker missiles, heavily-armoured cockpit, vital systems and components.
"The Mi-17V-5 military transport helicopter is designed to carry personnel, cargo and equipment inside the cargo cabin or on an external sling, drop tactical air assault forces and reconnaissance and sabotage groups, destroy ground targets and carry the wounded," said Russian government's defence exports company Rosoboronexport.
According to the company, this helicopter can achieve a maximum speed of 250 km per hour.
The helicopter is fitted with advanced TV3-117VM engines.
It is the most technically advanced helicopter of Mi-8/17 family of helicopters, and incorporates the best engineering solutions from previous generations of helicopters.

Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat said that after the faceoff with Indian forces along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Galwan valley and other areas in the Ladakh region last year, the Chinese Army realised that they needed better training and preparation.
While speaking to India Today, he also mentioned that China had to make changes in its deployment in the mountainous terrains of the Himalayas post Galwan clash.
Rawat pointed out that Chinese soldiers are mostly enlisted for a short duration and don't have experience of fighting in the mountain terrain of the Himalayas, whereas soldiers in India have specialised training and are very adept at warfare in difficult zones like the Tibet autonomous region.
