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.

  • The cancellation may delay helicopter fleet modernization, prompting suggestions to acquire alternative equipment like drones or tanks to meet evolving security needs.
