There is so much going on in the forum that it's impossible to read everything.
Your post about a South Korean contract was overlooked by me.

POLAND... Is going full-throttle on Military-Equipment-Upgrades!:
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/po ... id=79a1b8

Poland seeks purchase of 96 Apache attack helicopters from US, making second-largest fleet in the world.

The Polish military is seeking to purchase 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters from Boeing, tripling an earlier request for 32 aircraft Thursday.

The purchase would grant Poland the 2nd largest fleet of Apaches in the world, behind the United States. The Boeing-produced aircraft is among the most advanced attack helicopters in the world.

The price tag for the purchase has yet to be announced, but individual aircraft can cost up to $140 million, depending on how they are outfitted.

Poland's new fleet of Apaches would replace its outdated, Soviet-designed Mil Mi-24 fleet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compared to earlier AH-64Es, V6 types feature an expanded suite of sensors, as well as communications systems and data-links, which improve their ability to spot and engage targets, especially during over-water operations, as well as detect and avoid threats.

This package could put the Polish deal closer to $12.5 billion, depending on the particulars of the complete package.

What does this topic have to do with Panzer Corps 2 ?

[Edmon]

Nothing, moving it to general discussion.

Also a note:

It is ok to discuss modern military technology, this thread could get political fast. So, I'll make this simple for everyone to follow: Don't talk about NATO, or the current tensions and this can remain open for discussion.

Politics, "hot topics" and current events are not allowed on our forums for good reason. People play video games to relax, unwind, have fun and escape from an often bitter and harsh world.

I live in a country that literally shares a border with Russia, believe me when I say that people are concerned, but there is a time and a place for discussions like this and it's not here.

Since you've broken the rules you'll get a warning and this thread will be locked.
