According to the country's Defense Secretary who is none other than Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, the Philippines can get another 16 units of Blackhawk helicopters.
Philippine Air Force Chief General Lieutenant Allen Paredes also said that the reason they chose Blackhawk is that it has a bigger advantage over the air force if they only use one type of helicopter in terms of maintenance and training.
The Department also noticed that it can help a lot when it comes to various fields of combat and rescue, cargoes and personnel transport, medical evacuation and many others.
The said type of helicopter acquired by the Philippines in Poland is a more advanced variant of the Blackhawk combat utility helicopter than its predecessors. Apart from being able to carry a large cargo unlike the helicopter we have today, it can also reach farther, and not only that, it also has the ability to fly and land even in the dark. in short it sees in the dark.
The secretary also mention that the acquisition of the S70i Blackhawk from Poland was more frugal than its previous transaction with the Canada bell 412 helicopter. The secretary also said that the acquisition of the said helicopter was more frugal than its previous transaction with the Canada bell 412 helicopter. where the said country even issued unacceptable statements regarding our use of their helicopter in case we get it.
