Atleast 6 out of 16 S-70i black hawk built by Poland-based Sikorsky Aircraft subsidiary PZL Mielec are expected to be delivered for the Philippine Air Force in 2020 and the rest would arrive in 2021, report said.
The Philippine Department of National Defense (DND) signed a contract worth P12 billion, a replacement to a canceled contract of 16 Bell 412EP helicopter from Canada.
During the recently concluded Philippine Air Force Symposium, Sikorsky’s representative confirmed to a local media reporter that that delivery may proceed from 3rd quarter of 2020 up to 2021, although Sikorsky may adjust the delivery of the first batch of helicopters to an earlier date.
S-70i Black Hawk helicopter is the latest in the family of Black Hawk multi-mission aircraft. It can be configured according to customer-specific missions, including troop transport and air assault, command and control, border patrol, search and rescue, cargo lift, and VIP transport.
