Heli Bell-212 yg menjadi platform sebagai Heli ASW tsb diatas, membuktikan bahwa heli Bell 212 tsb memang heli "badak"dan sdh terbukti betel prupen.
Sayang di negara antah berantah, semua yg berbau jebot & Jadul, tidak di minati, yg sangat-sangat di minati adalah material alutsista yg "anyar" dan gress kinyis-kinyis (padahal ada yg hasil refurbish juga), dan walau dengan harga mahal dan kadang belum betel prupen.
He.....he......he.......
Brand New "Yes", Jebot & Jadul "NO".!!!!
