(ANSA) - ROMA, 22 SET - "We made a decision: the Ministry of Defense will purchase 18 Leonardo AW169M helicopters, the order is in collaboration with Italy and amounts to approximately 300 million euros." Austrian government thus paves the way for "extensive cooperation" with Italy in the defense industry, with a contract of significant strategic value for Leonardo. The eighteen Italian helicopters - the Austrian Defense Ministry announced - will replace the old French Alouette III fleet of light helicopters in service since 1967. (ANSA).
