- Poland has terminated the procurement process for acquiring 32 Black Hawk utility helicopters manufactured by Lockheed Martin for its Army.
- The cancellation came after negotiations began in 2023 during the earlier administration led by the Law and Justice party, aiming to enhance the army’s rotary-wing fleet.
- The Armament Agency cited a reassessment of priority equipment needs, considering geopolitical developments and focusing on alternative systems like drones and tanks.
- Deputy Defense Minister Pawel Beja said the procedure was closed due to Armed Forces needs, while former minister Mariusz Blaszczak called the decision a “disgrace” delaying helicopter fleet replacement.
- Poland continues modernizing with a contract for 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters to replace Mi-24s, signaling a shift in defense priorities despite ending Black Hawk talks.
