New Zealand to spend $1.6 billion for US maritime helicopters, Airbus jets SYDNEY (Reuters) -New Zealand said on Thursday it would spend NZ$2.7 billion ($1.6 billion) to buy five MH-60R Seahawk helicopters and two Airbus A321XLR aircraft, the first major investment following a decision to replace the country’s aging defence fleet. NZ$2 billion will be used to buy the maritime helicopters, manufactured by Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT)’s Sikorsky unit, and NZ$700 million for the A321XLRs, Defence Minister Judith Collins and Foreign Minister Winston Peters said in a joint statement. Both investments are part of the planned commitments outlined in April in the government’s Defence Capability Plan. New Zealand in April pledged to boost its defence spending by NZ$9 billion over the next four years, and aim to nearly double spending to 2% as a share of GDP in the next eight years as part of the Defence Capability Plan. "We will now move at pace to procure helicopters directly through the United States’ Foreign Military Sales programme instead of going to a wider tender, with cabinet expected to consider the final business case next year," Collins said. The two new Airbus aircraft, set to replace the Boeing (NYSE:BA) 757 planes, will be acquired on a six-year lease-to-buy arrangement. The New Zealand Defence Force’s two 757s are more than 30 years old and their age has made them increasingly unreliable, breaking down several times and stranding the nation’s leaders, forcing them to take commercial flights. "This decision will ensure New Zealand has a critical combat capable, interoperable and dependable fleet," Collins said. The government’s investment decisions showed it was responding to "the sharply deteriorating security environment," Peters said. "Global tensions are increasing rapidly, and we must invest in our national security to ensure our economic prosperity," he added. An intelligence report released on Thursday said New Zealand was facing the toughest national security challenges of recent times with increasing threats of foreign interference and espionage, particularly from China.

Apollo’s Leach says defense, AI sectors need private capital Investing.com -- The defense and artificial intelligence sectors require such substantial funding that private capital will be essential alongside public markets and banks, according to Apollo Global Management’s co-head of European Credit Tristram Leach. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Leach described the investment needs in these sectors as "massive," explaining that all available capital sources are necessary to meet demand. Leach indicated that Apollo is prepared to increase its defense investments. He also noted that 2025 has seen non-European investors directing more capital toward Europe. "Investors have got a sense for the growth that’s coming and want to rebalance out of the US," Leach said, adding that sentiment toward European investments has shifted positively.
