Korea Aerospace Industries has signed an agreement with Airbus Helicopters to begin the serial production phase of Light Armed Helicopters.
The agreement between KAI, a South Korean aerospace and defence company, and the European multinational will see improved production of the LAH at KAI’s Sacheon facility in South Korea with Airbus supporting mass production.
The agreement follows a December 2022 contract to supply 10 LAH to the Republic of Korea Army from 2024 under South Korea’s Defence Acquisition Program Administration.
