Spain commits itself with Eu to buy 24 helicopters

Madrid, Spain - A EUR 1.2bn worth deal

Spanish government committed itself with Eu to buy 24 helicopters by 2007, a EUR 1.2bn worth deal. The choice to be made is between the "Tiger", manufactured by European Eads, and "Apache", by Boeing. Political and military reasons would drive the choice toward "Tiger", but this model does not have the required power to carry any kind of arms and to act in hot temperatures. (004)
