Armed Forces chief says no plan to replace ageing Nuri choppers


KUALA LUMPUR: The Armed Forces has no plan to dispose the 30 aging Sikorsky S-61A-4 Nuri helicopters which have served for over 50 years.

Armed Forces chief Gen Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin said it would be more economical and practical to refurbish the United States-made helicopters to assist the recently acquired EC725 Cougar helicopters.
