Four More AW139s For Police
So 4 more Leonardo AW139?
What is the police mission set for these helicopters? I do not see any EO turrets on these, unlike other police helicopters around the world.
As for the sungei besi police base, it was actually just upgraded with multi million ringgit aircraft shelters when it is decided that the sungei besi airbase to be closed.
If Police gets more AW-139…
Then Army Should think about New Transport Helicoptera like NH-90 or Black Hawk.
Six aw139 would be good number to start with to support their counter insurgency or anti terrorist role especially in supporting the vat69 or the utk. It’s about time also for perm to replace their obsolete A150 commando vehicle with the AV4
Prolly better if the army go for aw149, the bigger version of aw139.
It’s cheaper than both the nh90 and blackhawk and could carry the same amount of passenger. Basically it is a successor to UH-1
As flood is common in Malaysia the govt should get the heavy lift heli like the chinook.For the last few years during the worst flood, I was stranded in Kelantan.What I noticed is that all the heli in the security inventory was carrying supplies to the remote areas.In one incident a police heli crashed.This is just like kancil with 4 ton of cargo and plus 4 passengers.Don’t be surprised one day the MD530 will be sending maggi mee also.

A Rahim Omar,
trust me, the kancil you thought it was is actually a well know work horse world wide. These 139s are to carry some very important people. Not those dirty works that you guys are dreaming up there.
