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.
Pakistan will now receive an extra nine new-build Bell Helicopter AH-1Z Viper attack platforms from the US, according to a US Department of Defense announcement on 4 April.
The foreign military sale (FMS) of nine helicopters and an identical number of auxiliary fuel tanks is valued at US$170.2 million.
This deal comes on top of a previous firm-fixed-price contract announced last August, when Islamabad ordered a first batch of three AH-1Zs. According to this contract modification, 12 is the total number now on order.
This work overseen by the Naval Air Systems Command should be completed by September 2018.
