/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey has increased its requirement for Boeing
CH-47F Chinook transport helicopters from 10 to 14 aircraft, with
its undersecretariat for defense industries, the SSM, having added
four for special forces applications.
Turkish officials visited Boeing's Philadelphia production facilities
during August to test the CH-47F. A letter of request has now been
issued, and a contract signature is expected by mid-2010 via the
USA's Foreign Military Sales mechanism.
The Turkish army will receive 10 transports, with the remainder to be
equipped with search and rescue equipment to support special forces
operations, reported flightglobal.com.
