Macierewicz told a parliamentary defense commission meeting that conditions of “the potential contract” to buy the Patriot system “have changed a lot since the public announcement.”
Regarding the selection of the H225, he said the decision was made “despite numerous flaws.” He added that the tender might restart if current offset talks fail.
