Halogen production to be paused, more Helium
The HCSAF are currently restructuring their helicopter fleet and following on from the earlier announcement about the Dragonfly and Hornet production of the A/C-26 Halogen is to be paused for a number of years for HCSAF use (though will continue for HCSN and export orders). Nearly 9000 are in service and pausing production will allow the oldest to be withdrawn and reduce the fleet to a planned strength of 8000 by 2113.
