The Ministry of Defence of North Macedonia has signed a EUR 250 million procurement contract with Leonardo, the Italian defence and aerospace powerhouse, for the acquisition of eight multirole military helicopters.
The Ministry of Defence of North Macedonia has announced its decision to acquire helicopters from the Italian company Leonardo.
The AW149 is ideally suited to modernise defence helicopter fleets and replace a range of ageing types in the medium weight category.
The US State Department has approved a possible sale of 800 AGM-114R2 Hellfire missiles and related equipment to Poland.
The 250th CT7-2E1 engine was shipped to Leonardo in late September in support of the AW149 and AW189 helicopter programs respectively.
The Polish government selected GE Aerospace’s CT7-2E1 turboshaft engine to power its new fleet of Leonardo AW149 helicopters.
