The InfoDefensa website is reporting that Paraguay is negotiating with Taiwan for eleven Bell UH-1H helicopters. This follows ten from the same source in 2004 and a Bell 427 in July (see HeliHub.com story).
Due to the way that the UH-1s were acquired by Taiwan, the far East country needs to apply to the US military for permission to transfer the UH-1Hs to the South American country. This is considered to be a formality, but will take a number of months to work its way through the US military processes.
