The Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic has decided that Sokoły helicopters manufactured by Polish PZL-Świdnik will still be used by the Czech emergency services and serviced in Poland, the media reported. The value of the contract between the Czech government and PZL-Świdnik is to stand at 1 billion Czech crowns, which translates to roughly PLN 150 million. Service works are to begin later this year and last around six years.
