Polish Navy The US will receive eight new MH-60 Seahawk helicopters

The United States Department of Defense and the Lockheed Martin Company have concluded a contract in the process of producing successive MH-60R seahawks, which run into the maritime aviation of the country.

The agreement has a value of 382 million dollars and assumes the production and delivery of eight virulents which will expire by September 2020. Their purchase has been auto-risked by Congress and has two objectives, the first to complete the full losses (so far the U.S. Navy has lost at least four MH-60R Seahawks) and after a second to maintain the assembly line in motion, which is to allow time for the cessation of export agreements. The lack of coatings leads to the fact that the production was completed in December 2019.

Until now, Lockheed Martin, which took over Sikorsky, has supplied US Navy 280 MH-60R Seahawk, and has also implemented two export agreements to Australia and Denmark. Currently the main project is the production of MH-60R for Saudi Arabia.

The producer is constantly searching for outlets, among the marketins trades, including Mexico, Taiwan, Vietnam, India, the Republic of Korea and the Federal Republic of Germany.
