The Group also questioned BSVT in Minsk and was shown its 2004 contract with the Government of Côte d'Ivoire, which included two Mi 8T simulators and Mi 8T spare parts.

A Darkwood brokered contract between BSVT and Côte d'Ivoire in early 2004 delivered two Su 25 aircraft and spare parts, spare parts for an Mi 8T helicopter and two Mi 8T ground simulators carcass bodies for flight practice.

FACI also told the Group that it finds Mi 8T helicopters more reliable and would like to import a Mi 8T helicopter that is available for its use.

On 16 October 2004, the two Su 25s, the Mi 8T simulators and the Mi 8T spare parts were flown to Abidjan aboard an AN 124 of Volga Dnepr Airlines, registration number RA82042.

As above with the Mi 8T helicopters referred to above, there is ambiguity over who really owns the Mig 23s.

Provision is made for the six member crew of the MI 8 helicopter and the AN 26 fixed wing aircraft as well as for the five member crew of the MI 8MTV helicopter at a rate of 15 per person per day ( 93,100).

Note The CH 135 helicopters were replaced by the CH 146 aircraft effective 1 April 1997, under the same terms and conditions.

The B 200 aircraft was deployed to the Mission area effective 20 July 1998 and the MI 8 helicopter deployment was effective 20 September 1998.

An amount of 9,900 provides for meals and overnight accommodation away from the airbase at UNPREDEP for a five member helicopter crew at a monthly cost of 6,400 in respect of the MI 8T and for a three member crew, at a monthly cost of 3,500 in respect of the Astar helicopter.

Two Mi 24s and a Puma IAR 330L were destroyed, while the Mi 8T's fin was cut off by another missile.

The amount of 19,800 provides for meals and overnight accommodation away from the airbase at UNPREDEP for a five member helicopter crew at a monthly cost of 6,400 in respect of the MI 8T and for a three member crew, at a monthly cost of 3,500 in respect of the Astar helicopter.

Following events which occurred in the buffer zone in August 1996, and in view of the fact that two light helicopters have very limited capacity for medical evacuation and night flying capability, it is proposed to replace one of the two light helicopters with a Bell 212 medium lift utility helicopter in order to strengthen the Force s responsive capabilities in the mission area.
