I will say this: The designers tried hard to replicate the classic Defender and give it a modern look. In the end though, this is just a Range Rover on steroids. :confused:

Česká letecká servisní (ČLS), part of the Helicopter Alliance holding, has been awarded both parts of the tender issued by the Czech Ministry of the Interior for the supply of medium category helicopters. Representatives of ČLS and the Ministry of the Interior signed two framework agreements with a total value of up to 4.9 billion Czech crowns for the procurement of up to three modernized UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters and up to three factory new Sikorsky S-70M Firehawks. These advanced helicopters will serve with the Czech Police in standard service roles, as well as support search and rescue operations and aerial firefighting efforts, enhancing the country’s aerial capabilities and public safety.
Based on the first framework agreement regarding the project Development of the Czech rescEU capacity for aerial forest fire extinguishing using a medium helicopter funded by the European Union, the Czech Ministry of Interiour can order up to three S-70M helicopters in the Firehawk modification for the Air Service of the Police of the Czech Republic. The S-70M Firehawk is a specialized variant of the Black Hawk helicopter family, equipped with advanced aerial firefighting equipment, including a large-volume tank system. This model is primarily dedicated to aerial firefighting, but its firefighting equipment can be easily de-assembled. This flexibility will allow the Czech Police, as the first European operators of the Firehawk, to also utilize the helicopter for regular police duties. The acquisition of all three aircraft will be financed by European Union funds, as part of the rescEU civil protection program. This investment aims to strengthen Europe‘s aerial firefighting and emergency response capabilities, providing rapid support across member states when necessary.
Under the second framework agreement, the Czech Ministry of the Interior has the option to acquire up to three modernized UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters for the Air Service of the Police of the Czech Republic. These helicopters will be supplied by ČLS in cooperation with the American company Ace Aeronautics, which is also part of the Helicopter Alliance holding. The helicopters will be procured from surplused U.S. armed forces assets and will undergo a comprehensive modernization process. This will include the installation of entirely new dynamic components such as engines and transmissions, as well as a modern digital glass cockpit. Although purchased in a standard service configuration, their equipment will feature bambi buckets for aerial firefighting operations.
