Romanian Ministry of Interior Confirms Procurement of S-70 Black Hawk

Romania’s Ministry of Internal Affairs signed a four-year framework agreement with PZL Mielec, a Lockheed Martin company, that will lead to the procurement of up to 12 new-generation Black Hawk utility helicopters, manufactured in Poland and delivered in partnership with Romaero and Deltamed, according to Business-Review.eu.

This exclusive agreement with PZL Mielec, for the supply of medium/heavy maritime and land helicopters, enables Romania’s General Inspectorate of Aviation (IGAv) to order batches of aircraft from the Polish factory during a four-year period. The helicopters will be configured for either land or maritime operations

“Selection of new Polish-built Black Hawks will establish a strong industrial link between our manufacturing facility in south-east Poland and Romania,” said Janusz Zakrecki, president and general director PZL Mielec. “We thank the Romanian Government for its confidence in the Black Hawk utility helicopter and the skills and capabilities of our Polish workforce in Mielec and its European supply chain partners.”

Designed to demanding military standards, the S-70 Black Hawk helicopter is a dual-use platform that is ideally-suited to perform the demanding long-range and high-altitude missions required by Romania’s Ministry of Internal Affairs. This includes disaster relief, search and rescue, medical transport, external cargo lift, firefighting, and maritime surveillance.
