Revision as of 15:30, June 26, 2017
, 15:30, June 26, 2017→Russian Mi-17 helicopters
==Russian Mi-17 helicopters==
==Russian Mi-17 helicopters==
Let's slow down and be careful in our research. The [http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/25/american-helicopters-to-replace-russian-models-in-/ ''Washington Times'' article] said "The Obama administration came to realize the failure in its last weeks in office and stopped the deal." [https://www.defensetech.org/2016/12/06/mi-17-rusisan-flying-afghanistan/ Defense Tech] reported on the decision on December 6. What is at issue is that Afghanistan had a bunch of Mi-17 helicopters and was already trained to fly them. In March 2014, the Obama administration crafted sanctions against Russia for attacking Ukraine, but the sanctions did not include Rosoboronexport, the state-run arms broker, who was allowed to continue maintaining Mi-17s. For whatever reason, Russia by 2016 stopped supplying parts under its contract, so the US will replace Mi-17s with US made products. Some people were disappointed that Obama did not cut off the Rosoboronexport deal back in 2014. Trump was silent on the issue back in 2014 and during the campaign, so I don't see why this is being added to the article. [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 07:30, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

:The Trump Administration made it official, and decided to stock the air force with American helicopters. I don't care what Trump said during his campaign (why are you even bringing this up? This article is not a list of kept campaign promises -- it's about every campaign achievement). I will let it be, at least for a while, and think of another way to add it. This is the diff of me adding it: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Donald_Trump_achievements&diff=prev&oldid=1356390] --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 11:30, 26 June 2017 (EDT)
