A | 8月26日讯 在参加Pressing节目时，维维亚诺点评了米兰将帅在意甲揭幕战的表现。 Manila, Oct 21 (UNI) Manila will seek to have at least some of the reported $32m Russian helicopter deal down payment refunded by Moscow.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has said his country will source military helicopters from the United States after scrapping a $215m deal to buy 16 similar heavy-lift helicopters from Russia over fears of sanctions following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, reports BBC.
Manila will also seek to have Moscow return at least part of a multimillion-dollar deposit for the now-cancelled batch of Russian Mi-17 helicopters, Marcos Jr said on Thursday, in his first public comments on the touchy issue involving Russia.
“We have secured an alternative supply (for heavy-lift helicopters) from the United States,” Marcos Jr, who was elected president in May, said at a business forum.
“Unfortunately, we made a down payment (to the Russian manufacturer) that we are hoping to negotiate to get at least a percentage of that back,” he said.
“But the deal as it stood maybe at the beginning of or in the middle of last year has already been cancelled.”
On Wednesday, the Russian ambassador to the Philippines, Marat Pavlov, told the local media that his government had not been officially informed of the contract cancellation and considered the helicopter deal valid.
Production continued on fulfilling the order to deliver the Mi-17s, the ambassador said, adding that one had been ready for delivery since June.
The government of Marcos Jr’s predecessor Rodrigo Duterte signed the deal with Moscow in November 2021, but Duterte backed out of the agreement in the months following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February and the imposition of wide-ranging sanctions on Russia.
Marcos did not specify which US helicopters were chosen as the alternative to the Mi-17s, only that they will be manufactured in Poland.
The Philippine ambassador in Washington, Jose Romualdez, told reporters in August that Manila was looking at Chinooks to replace the Mi-17s.
The Boeing CH-47 Chinook could be the possible replacement for the Mi-17s, which the Philippines requires for combat missions, search and rescue, and medical evacuation, the ambassador said at the time.
The US deal – which matched the price agreed with Russia – would also include maintenance services and parts, terms that were not included in the deal with Russia, defence officials told local media organisation GMA News.
UNI MR。他说：“米兰选择了一位能力出众的教练。看起来好像来了一位普普通通的教练，但他已经证明了自己能成就大业。要彻底改变应对比赛的战术策略与惯性并不容易，但他非常出色。我非常欣赏他重用西塞（Cissé的举措。阿莫林给我留下了深刻的好印象。”维维亚诺随后也谈到了贡萨洛·拉莫斯以及西塞：“贡萨洛·拉莫斯？他在临门一脚环节稍微有些欠缺，但他是一名工作做得非常出色的球员——能护球、敢拼搏、善奔跑。在我看来，米兰完成了一笔极其重要的签约，他是当今足坛最出色的中锋之一，我确信他今年会给米兰球迷带来巨大的惊喜与满足感。”“至于西塞？他具备极高的天赋，这是显而易见的，但最让我印象深刻的是他面对队友斥责时展现出的个性反应，以及他在球场上顶住压力、勇于承担责任的态度。在我看来，这才是决定成败的关键所在。
