AFGHANISTAN-US-RUSSIA-HELICOPTERS-FILES
(FILES)An Afghan National Police Mi-17 helicopter flies past during the opening ceremony of the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) headquarters in Kabul in this January 12, 2010 file photo. The Pentagon has called off plans to buy more Russian-made helicopters for Afghan forces in the face of strong opposition from lawmakers, officials said November 14, 2013. The Defense Department had requested funds to purchase an additional 15 helicopters from Rosoboronexport but members of Congress and human rights groups had objected, citing the Russian arms firm's weapons sales to the Syrian regime. The Pentagon "has re-evaluated requirements in consultation with Congress," spokeswoman Maureen Schumann said in an email. "We currently do not have plans to purchase additional Mi-17s from Rosoboronexport," she said. AFP PHOTO/Massoud HOSSAINI
