Naval version of AW-139?I wonder what helicopters PN Is looking at for the 4 x Type 054A/P + 4 x Ada Class
we need a modern medium sized helicopter from a Western nation defiantly not any more Z9C
maybe a naval Z18 but its too large and not Z20
maybe T625?
Naval version of AW-139?
Fairly robust, maintainence friendly, commonality with Army and air force
This is just a wish, but maybe the whole of armed forces could push for commercial offsets. We do have a fair amount of AW-139, airforce, army and a couple civilian ones.yes Malaysia has ordered this unit and I hope PN looks at it seriously
If accurate, then it's not surprising. The PN always liked the S-70i/UH-60R. One platform that can handle everything from shipborne ASW/AShW to CSAR/SAR, general utility, and commando/troop operations. Currently, the Z-20 is the closest to that from a concept standpoint. But I think the Z-20's availability is a serious blocker as the PLAN probably has a massive backorder.
