Leonardo and The Polish Land Forces have reached a significant milestone with the delivery of their first two AW149 helicopters. These helicopters, designed for combat support missions, are now entering service just 15 months after the contract signing. This quick turnaround highlights the efficiency of the procurement process and the commitment to enhancing the capabilities of the Polish Armed Forces.
The configuration of the new Polish military helicopters is tailored to meet the specific requirements of the Polish Armed Forces. These helicopters will be equipped with observation systems, small arms, guided and unguided rockets and missiles, and self-defense systems. Depending on the helicopter variant and configuration, the armament can be installed in the cabin or on the helicopter’s external hard points. This flexibility ensures that the AW149 can adapt to a range of mission profiles and perform various tasks efficiently.
