That's right, Obama is the one who had a deal with with the Russians
to buy their helicopters for Afghan use.

Those will now be phased out and replaced with American machines.


The winning continues

The Donald Trump Pentagon, in so many words, is saying that the Obama administration’s decision to waive punitive sanctions and buy combat helicopters from Russia was a bad deal.

The Pentagon’s first congressionally required report on Afghanistan under President Trump says the Russian Mi-17 chopper has proved a failure in the long war and will be phased out in favor of American-made UH-60 Black Hawks.

The Mi-17 deal was stopped at least a year ago. We already started delivering 53 of the Black Hawks by the end of May. Another 100 or so on the way.

You really need to stop reading crap like the Washington Times.

ETA: delivery started on the 53, not delivered. Apparently refurbishment is needed first.
