Slow progress for Poland's helicopter purchases

摘要

The second iteration of the Polish tender for new helicopters for ASW/SAR and SOF support missions is proving to be a prolonged process. Despite being labelled an 'urgent requirement' at its launch in early 2017, with offers from three bidders submitted on 27 March, the Polish MoD is still reviewing its options. The process is being carried out in strict secrecy and no announcements have yet been made on the selection of a preferred bidder.
