Zitat:Watchdog slams "botched" purchase of Chinooks
LONDON (Reuters) - The defence ministry has been attacked by a parliamentary watchdog over its "disgraceful" purchase of eight Chinook helicopters which have remained grounded over safety fears.
The upgraded helicopters, built by Boeing Co and worth a total of 259 million pounds, have not entered service because of technical problems.
