Poland ordered 32 multi-purpose helicopters [AW149](https://defence24.pl/page-tagow/aw149) in July 2022. A device produced in the country was selected, modern but much little tested than, for example, an American competitor. This means more challenges with implementation, but gives the chance to participate in shaping the purchased system. The situation thus resembles a situation from 20 years ago, erstwhile Poland bought the vanguard then wheeled armored transporter Patria AMV, from which the [Rosomak](https://defence24.pl/page-tagow/kot-rosomak emerged). Will AW149 besides become the fresh working horse of the Armed Forces of Poland?
