Poland postpones acquisition of 32 Black Hawk helicopters
- Poland has called off its planned acquisition of 32 Black Hawk helicopters manufactured by Lockheed Martin, according to a statement from the Armament Agency in Warsaw.
- Discussions to acquire helicopters began in 2023 during the tenure of the former Law and Justice administration, aiming to enhance the capabilities of the Polish Army.
- The Armament Agency halted the process due to a reassessment of equipment priorities amid the geopolitical situation and ongoing Ukraine war.
- Poland secured a lucrative deal in August 2024 with the U.S. to purchase 96 AH-64E Apache helicopters that will replace aging Soviet-era Mi-24s and enhance combat capabilities.
- The cancellation may delay helicopter fleet modernization, prompting suggestions to acquire alternative equipment like drones or tanks to meet evolving security needs.
