The technical dialogue in Perkoz multi-role helicopter programme has been indefinitely suspended. This means that the operational fleets of W-3, Mi-8, or Mi-2 rotary-wing platforms will require extension of their service lifetimes.
The above means that delays may be expected, when it comes to the introduction of a new helicopter platform that was to replace the o obsolete Mi-2 helicopters, and, to some extent, the Mi-8, supporting the existing W-3 Sokół fleet. Some of the legacy aircraft will need to continue their service as well.
