India to receive 15 Russian Mi-17B-5 copters

[rickshaw driver]

15 a year is pathetic! It is going to take 8-9 years to fulfil this order (if extra 59 are ordered)

i agree but after 10 years we will have 5 of these so thats enough for now

On 11 June 2009, it was announced that the United States had handed over four Mi-17 cargo helicopters to the Pakistan Army to facilitate its counter-terrorism operation. (Note - A leaked US embassy cable published on Wikileaks describes the request made by Pakistan Chief of Army Staff General Kayani for additional helicopters[9]

Not you got from Russia but NATO procured them for you .....Get the fact right ....

PAF ordered four Mi-171 helicopters in 2002 from Ukraine for its Special Services Group, which were delivered in 2004. A follow-on order of further 12 examples was also placed. The helicopters were intended for search and rescue duties at various PAF bases. The delivery of the follow on order also commenced in 2004.

India has total order of 80+59 = 139 Mi-17 V5. It should not be 15 per year. Its too low. I think delivery will increase in coming years.
