Rząd chce rozwiązać umowę z Airbusem na dostawę śmigłowców wartą 3 mld dolarów
Zdaniem sekretarza stanu MON, Bartosz Kownackiego potencjalna zapłata setek milionów złotych kary za rozwiązanie umowy będzie lepszym rozwiązaniem dla polskiego przemysłu zbrojeniowego i kwestii związanych z obronnością niż jej utrzymanie.

Poland likely to scrap $3 billion Airbus helicopter deal: report
Poland's $3 billion (2 billion pounds) army helicopter deal with Airbus (AIR.PA) is "very likely" to be canceled, the deputy defense minister said on Tuesday, signaling one of Warsaw's key military programs, speeded up in response to the Ukraine crisis, may face delays.
Poland's previous centrist government, beaten by the Eurosceptic Law and Justice (PiS) party in a parliamentary election in October, agreed a provisional deal with Airbus for 50 EC-725 Caracal multi-purpose helicopters, turning down offers from Sikorsky (LMT.N) and AgustaWestland (SIFI.MI).
The contract, negotiated by the economy ministry, has yet to be signed and PiS has repeatedly said it would rather see the deal awarded to a producer manufacturing locally. Both Sikorsky and AgustaWestland have facilities in Poland.
"I can't say that the final assessment of the (industrial) offset negotiations will be negative, but considering how big the differences are, it is very likely that an agreement will not be reached," Bartosz Kownacki told the Rzeczpospolita daily.
"We are not allergic to the French, but to not utilizing the capacity of the Polish (defense) industry," Kownacki said. "We'd have to get really as much as possible from the French side to make this contract profitable for us," he said.
Poland may be better off scrapping the deal and paying a potential fine, which may reach hundreds of millions of zlotys, than accepting the losses the contract would impose on the Polish defense industry, Kownacki was quoted as saying.
The negotiations are supposed to conclude by Feb. 10, the daily said.
"Talks on industrial compensation are under way. Let's wait until they are concluded," a spokesman for Airbus Helicopters said.

Przypomnijmy, że za 50 francuskich śmigłowców H225M Caracal, symulatory, pakiet szkoleniowy i logistyczny Polska ma zapłacić ponad 13,3 mld zł. – Będziemy z Francuzami rozmawiać, aby jak najmniej boleśnie wycofać się z tego kontraktu i rozpisać nowy przetarg – powiedział minister Macierewicz. Z ofertą Airbus Helicopters przegrały PZL Świdnik i AgustaWestland oraz PZL Mielec, należące do amerykańskiej korporacji Sikorsky.
