PZL Mielec To Deliver 32 Black Hawks to the Philippines, Starting Next Year
Following an order of the President, the Philippines decided to procure extra 32 S-70i Black Hawk Helicopters. The Polish PZL Mielec company was awarded a relevant order on 28th December 2021, including initial logistics support and pilot/ground crew training package. Its value is defined as 32 billion pesos which translates into roughly USD 630 million, as Delfin Lorenzana, head of the Philippine MoD said. The agreement is to be signed within January so that it is possible to deliver the helicopters starting in 2023.
