Germany to send WS-61 Westland Sea King helicopters to Ukraine
Germany has committed to sending Ukraine six of its 21 retiring WS-61 Westland Sea King multirole, amphibious helicopters.
Boeing has held high level cooperation discussions with Indonesian defence officials in a move that may pave the way for procurement of the CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter.
According to Indonesia’s Department of Defence, Boeing was exploring ‘Chinook cooperation with Indonesia’, and an accompanying photo on its website on 12 February showed Yeong-Tae Pak, Boeing’s vice-president for Indonesia and Malaysia, presenting a Chinook scale model to Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu.
The statement said possible cooperation would help develop Indonesia’s ‘land and marine fleets’, perhaps indicating Indonesian interest in the Chinook by both the army and navy.
