The Odesa-based Aviation Plant will launch the assembly of Bell UH-1 Iroquois, a US utility military helicopter in 2021, Ukroboronprom Director General Yuriy Husyev said while visiting the plant, opk.com.ua reported.

“This year, we plan to launch the assembly of helicopters under a US license at the Odesa Aviation Plant, which is part of state-run concern Ukroboronprom,” he said. The first helicopter should be assembled by the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence, he added.
