Chile : Chilean Air Force orders six S-70i Black Hawk helicopters from Sikorsky
Publish Date : 15-Dec-2016
The Chilean Air Force has placed an order with Sikorsky for six S-70i Black Hawk helicopters.
Earlier in August, the force had originally announced its decision to procure the six S-70i helicopters.
These aircraft are being procured for the service's medium-lift helicopter recapitalisation programme.
Helicopters will be deployed in a range of roles including military and humanitarian missions, like troop transport, search and rescue, and disaster relief.
Under this contract, Sikorsky will also be responsible for the provision of a logistical support package covering spare parts, pilots and maintenance specialists training, on-site technical assistance and ground support equipment.
