Warsaw
POLAND has decided to scrap the US$3 billion deal for 50 Airbus utility helicopters and will buy only a few aircraft from the European company, the daily Rzeczpospolita reported on Thursday, citing defence sources.
The move, coming months before a Nato summit in Warsaw where Poland is expected to seek more allied presence on its territory, could strain Warsaw's ties with France and delay a military programme speeded up because of the Ukraine crisis.
