Turkish military considers U.S. heavy lift helicopters
Turkey is considering buying six Boeing-made CH-47 heavy lift military transport helicopters.
If the contract is signed, it could be worth more than $300 million, a Turkish Ministry of Defense senior procurement official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The procurement official said: Now the contract talks almost have come to an end and are expected to be concluded very soon. The total price is expected to be over $300 million. After the helicopters begin to arrive, we plan to make some modifications on them according to suit our specific needs.
If the contract is finalized, then the six Boeing CH-47F Chinooks will become the first heavy lift helicopters in the Turkish militarys inventory, with expected delivery to begin in 2013.
