Ukraine declines Australian Tiger ARH attack helicopters donation
Based on · First reported
Sources
- Ukraine said it would not incorporate the Tiger ARH attack helicopters that Australia offered to donate in 2024, after evaluating the cost per flight hour, spare‑parts availability, technical condition of the Australian aircraft and the planned configuration.
- The decision was influenced by the helicopters' US‑made equipment, which is subject to ITAR export controls and would lose combat capability if removed, and Australia is set to replace its Tiger fleet with 29 Boeing AH‑64E Apache Guardian helicopters under the LAND 4503 project.
