Good morning forum users,
according to latest situation in Eastern Europe Poland speeds up its plan to purchase modern, and versatile heli platform for rescue operations, sea warfare and transportation on the battlefield. Therefore three helicopters are considered:
Black Hawk S70i,EC725 Caracal, AW 149. Also attack helicopter is necessary and following as AH-64E, Tiger and AW 129 Mangusta are considered.

Would you be so kind to enlighten me which of these are fit for our situation and potential conflict, as possible threat is coming from East.

Hope this thread do not violate point 3 of Rules and Regulations of this forum.

The LHD purchase isn't related to the situation in Eastern Europe. Joint procurement of "Joint Support Ships" (= LHDs or LPDs) was agreed upon in a MoU with Germany in April last year.

And it's not like a LHD and helos stationed onboard would be of any real use in a conflict with Russia...

Therefore this purchase is rather modernisation of Polish air force than real defence value?

Patriot or Aster systems are to be bought as well, but Germany is planning to withdraw Patriots. Is this Raytheon system of any value for Poland if neighbours as rumoured will go with something else?
