17:25
The Minister of Defence (MON) has invited three companies that took part in a previous tender to enter into preliminary talks regarding the purchase of helicopters for the Polish military, MON announced.
“An invitation to discussions has been sent to PZL Mielec, PZL Świdnik, and Airbus. The talks concern the purchase of helicopters as part of urgent operational needs declared by the armed forces,” said Beata Perkowska, Deputy Director of the MON Operations Center.
This follows in the wake of the failed Airbus Caracal helicopter deal, which had been criticized by the Law and Justice (PiS) party as well as trade unions operating in companies whose offers had been rejected in favor of Airbus – PZL Mielec and PZL Świdnik.
