PZL Mielec Black Hawk deliveries to Philippines

Overview

PZL Mielec has completed the delivery of S-70i Black Hawk helicopters to the Philippine Air Force. The final batch of seven aircraft from a 32-unit order was accepted, concluding a contract valued at approximately $624 million. This brings the Philippines' total of Polish-made Black Hawks to 48, making it the largest global user of this specific model.

The helicopters are intended to replace aging UH-1 models for missions including troop transport, night operations, jungle warfare, and disaster relief. While the Philippine delivery was completed ahead of schedule despite supply chain challenges, the Polish Ministry of National Defence has decided against further orders or modernization for the S-70i model for the Polish military.
