Today, two helicopter bases are fully ready for operation - in Lviv and Kiev. Further, the system of aeromedical evacuation will cover the whole of Ukraine.
The aviation system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will deal not only with medical issues, but will also be involved in rescue operations and extinguishing fires. 57 Airbus helicopters - H145, large Super Puma and maneuverable H125, as well as domestic Mi-8 and Mi-2 helicopters will be on duty.
