The Russian Helicopters Holding Company started testing light multi-purpose Ansat helicopter in Pakistan. The objective of testing is to prove the ability to use the machine in high temperatures. It is planned to expand Ansat's temperature regime to +50° Celsius. Thus, its temperature range will be from -45° to +50° Celsius. 

The company's Deputy CEO for marketing and business development Alexander Shcherbinin revealed their target market by saying flight performance characteristics of the twin-engine helicopter especially address customers from Asia and the Middle East.

The testing period is planned to be completed by mid-November.
