If want analogy, rice - 38 helicopter and homebred straight - general helicopter fixed position approachs 10 tons of 20 level, it is Russia is used replace rice - 8/17/171 set is medium-sized and current the completely new-style date of helicopter. Rice - 38 development project most antedate to put forward 1983, still invite European helicopter company to participate in even. But as 1991 the disintegrate of Russia, rice - 38 also be immersed in backwater like the war industry product of project approving of times of a lot of Russia. Till 2005, european helicopter company decides to end as square as Russia cooperation thoroughly eventually, exited rice - 38 projects.
In December 2010, complete by Russia two helicopter company participates in development and assembly rice - 38 eventually implementation head flies. Apparent, right now the big environment of global helicopter market changes completely already appearance, euramerican company grabs next most markets that belong to Russian-made rice to fasten helicopter formerly already, connect rice - 10 tons of level that the China of number one client of 17/171 helicopter already also began him research and development are current helicopter is straight - 20, and go well. China of prep let alone and the other helicopter project that Europe cooperates arrived harvest.
Accordingly, rice - the be difficult to do of 38 helicopter is main because revive irregular change delayed the times of Russian period to develop gold period, to nowadays already by Euramerican even Chinese congener product is cast far. Purchase besides him Russia, its export foreground disappears almost. More impracticable is, economy grows Russia nowadays slow, no matter scientific research or national defence expenditure are decreased,decrease again, so rice - 38 wanting to obtain oneself order also is extremely difficult.
