Documents: Croatia selling off An-32s, 7 Mi24 Hinds, 6 PC-9s

will be more or less understandable to non-Croatian readers through:

The first attempt to sell the RC
seven combat helicopters Mi-24V,
two transport aircraft An-32B and
six training aircraft Pilatus PC-9,
failed miserably.
He did not volunteer any interested bidder on any of the means. Alan Agency has launched a second attempt, and deadlines vary 07/01/2015.

By all accounts, the cost of the organization, packaging and transport could be higher than the cost of exhibits, at least when it comes to combat helicopters.
Here is the main problem is that the potential buyer impose dates and deadlines instead that the funds can be purchased throughout the year.
Why would someone buy old junk at the right time if no further secure a buyer for such a thing.

Remember, combat helicopters Mi-24V are written off from the Armed Forces after the War,
or about 15 years ago,
but some of them are in very good condition.

Judging by the state in the international market, the needs for this type of helicopters, long-term exposure to weather conditions and troubles,
Croatian Mi-24V could hardly exceed the price of € 300,000 per helicopter.

When it comes to transport planes An-32B, they were manufactured in 1993 and 1991 and for them it could not get more than 2 million together.
For six training aircraft Pilatus PC-9 also has no buyer.

Otherwise, the last serious attempt to sell helicopters dogopdio be back in 2006. The Croatian defense ministry and state agency Alan doo for trading in weapons, signed on 9 October 2006 agreement under which Alan doo
intended to sell Georgia six combat helicopters Mi-24th

Alan Agency in the summer of 2006 an international tender, in the end, after its implementation, in one of the letters confirmed that the disassembly and preparation for transport six helicopters confides that Georgia intends to buy Mi-24th

Due to the realization of this project in Croatia has been nine members of the professional services of the Georgian Air Force.

They are almost a month working on the dismantling of these helicopters and preparation for transport, and are already prepared to go two helicopters Mi-24th

However, neither of the two already disassembled Mi-24 is not dispatched to Georgia.

After the Georgians already prepared to leave, they were told that do not meet the conditions of the competition and that will not sign a contract of sale.
Looking for a bargain? :wink:
