The website states that Lockheed Martin plans to deliver the aircraft in question to the Australian Navy between mid-2025 and mid-2026, and that these helicopters will be held at Sikorsky Aircraft Australia Limited, which maintains the Seahawks. helicopter currently in service with the Australian Army. . .
The website noted that Australia was the first foreign customer to use the MH-60R helicopter in its army and purchased 24 of this type between 2013 and 2016, and that these aircraft are currently operating with frigates and destroyers of the Australian army.
“The versatility of the MH-60R helicopters has been a key factor in motivating the Australian Navy to acquire more of these aircraft,” said Admiral Peter Quinn of the Australian Army.
