The Pumas are from the United Arab Emirates. They are designated IAR-330 SM. 24 of them, upgraded with French stuff, including Makila engines (same as thoe used on Super Puma). Elbit dos not participate, it's an Israeli company. No Arab customer will accept Israeli equipment on its aircraft, especially military !!!

You'll find a lot of pictures of them the IAR Brasov site:

None.

When the SOCAT upgrade was in its project stage, there was the intention to put Makila engines on them, but later it was dropped due to cost (among with other stuff such as air to air missiles, Kevlar and ceramics ballistic protection, etc.)

Than the IAR-330M upgrade (or Puma NATO) was rumored to have 4 of the 16 upgraded helicopters modified with Makila engines, but apparently it also never came to fruition.

Maybe is a little out of topic, but I'm sure you'll find interesting. About selling NATO arms to Russia.
