The Defence Minister says it's important for New Zealand to have the right equipment as the Government unveils its newest defence spend.
The Government is set to invest $2.7 billion into two new Airbus A321 planes and five new MH-60R Seahawk helicopters to replace the Air Force鈥檚 Boeing 757s and the Navy's older Seasprite helicopters.
Judith Collins explained that it was important to get the right equipment at the right price range.
"We're a bit faster than some people getting them because we're doing this less-to-buy program with a very large supplier - or someone who buys an awful lot of brand-new planes - and we're on that sort of system so we can get them a bit earlier."
