Airbus Helicopters flew an H225M Caracal to the MSPO military trade show in Poland this week, still uncertain whether that country will confirm the purchase of 50 of them. Exhibitors were also eyeing other long-standing requirements, such as attack helicopters and armed unmanned aircraft systems. On the eve of the show, the Polish ministry of defense issued an RFP for five VIP transport aircraft.
