Peru Army seeks $88.6M for helicopter ops amid El Niño; MoD silent

Peru's Army has requested an additional S/88.6 million since May to maintain Russian-made helicopter readiness for El Niño emergency response, but the Ministry of Defense has not responded. The delay, under the Fujimorist government, risks degrading response capacity during an active climate emergency. The lack of response suggests potential bureaucratic or political friction, though the exact reasons remain unclear.
