    Default Venezuela Receives First Shipment of Russian Military Helicopters

    Venezuela Receives First Shipment of Russian Military Helicopters
    Venezuela has received the first three of at least 10 military helicopters purchased from Russia.

    Military officials say the three MI-17 helicopters arrived Tuesday in Caracas.

    Venezuela bought the helicopters as part of a $120 million deal signed last March. Caracas also agreed last year to buy 100,000 Russian-made Kalashnikov assault rifles.

    U.S. officials have criticized the deals, saying they could trigger an arms race, destabilizing the region.

    MI-17s can be used in an assault role or as a transport craft. Venezuelan military officials say the helicopters will be used to patrol the border with neighboring Colombia.

    The remaining helicopters bought from Russia are transport helicopters.

    Are we seeing a pattern yet? Russia and China supplying our potential enemies with military weaponry and then saying they're on our side. I wonder if the left will still be able to drink their double caf lattes in the re-education camps of the communists after our nation falls?

    It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

    It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

    It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

    It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
