Subject: Polish Defense Exports Tender for AIR 05

Dear Mr. Dowak,

Unfortunatly, the MPO has denied the PDE tender for AIR 05 LIFT contract. This is due to the age of the platform, the lack of armament options compared to the current, in-service LIFT (TA.339A/MB-339) and lack of modularity.

Thank you,

Wesley R. Miller, Head of MPO
