Leonardo announced today that it has signed a contract valued at approximately 380 mln EUR (1.65 bn PLN) that will significantly enhance the Polish Navy’s helicopter capability. Through its fully owned Polish company and main industrial presence in the country, PZL-Świdnik, Leonardo will supply four AW101s and a comprehensive integrated logistics and training package to the Polish Ministry of National Defence (MoD).
With deliveries expected to be completed by 2022 the AW101 will perform a range of missions including Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR). This contract signing for the AW101s and the relevant support package follows the Offset Agreement, valued at approx. 400 mln PLN (90 mln EUR) recently announced.
Poland has formally cleared for operational use the first of the Leonardo AW149 armed battlefield utility helicopters it has received.
The Armaments Agency (AA) made the announcement on 5 January, saying that with deliveries of 32 helicopters ongoing, the AW149s so far received “passed all required tests and acceptances and have been approved for operation”.
With three helicopters received to date, the AW149 is now being fielded by the Polish Army's 25th Air Cavalry Brigade.
Auf Twitter sind (wie in Österreich - siehe "Kurier" bzgl. der Hubschrauberbeschaffung des BMI) irre Debatten um die "Flugfähigkeit" von polnischen AW149M ohne FIPS aufgeflammt ... Muss wohl ein Szenetrend sein ...
