AgustaWestland AW149 - air to air

Last month the newest AgustaWestland helicopter was presented to Polish Army officials as it will be offered in transport/SAR/anti-submarine helicopter competition for Army, Navy, and Air Force. I got chance to take some air to air photos with this interesting machine:

Last one is fantastic, I love the common red roofing of Eastern European cities.

Does anyone know how much one of these AW149 cost new. I believe the AW139 is about $15m.

Dave, the AW149 is a military model so the cost per unit will depend on what the customer wants fitted to it (radios, surviellance equipment, weapons systems .....) plus what sort of support package the customer wants.

Bartek, great air to air especially those with the town as a backdrop. Looking forward to more from you. :clap:
