Army to activate new helicopters

It reports that the new CH-47SD transport helicopters will replace their civilian version, the B-234 helicopters, which were not very useful to the army because of their weak lifting power. According to the army's plans, the new CH-47SDs are to be used mainly to transport special operations troops to any place in the country in the shortest possible time.
