Warsaw will sign a production contract with Leonardo Helicopters later this month covering its purchase of AW101s configured for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) duties with the Polish navy.

Polish defence minister Mariusz Blaszczak confirmed the planned buy on 8 April, stating that Warsaw intends to finalize an order during April. The acquisition is believed to include four AW101s.

Ahead of the deal being finalised, Leonardo Helicopters and Poland’s defence ministry have signed an offset agreement worth Z400 million ($106 million) in relation to the order.
