BA German military plans for heavy lift helicopter competition, Reuters says
General Volker Wieker has approved Germany's plan to purchase 45 to 60 new heavy-lift helicopters in a deal valued at roughly EUR4B, Reuters reports, citing a source familiar with the decision. The plan by the defence ministry, which expects to issue a request for information in 2H18, will pit Lockheed Martin's (LMT) CH-53K helicopter against Boeing's (BA) CH-47. Reference Link
