Newtalk新聞 俄烏戰爭持續延燒，烏克蘭長期仰賴西方國家提供軍事援助，沒想到如今竟有武器送上門，烏軍卻選擇拒收！澳洲原本準備將 22 架即將退役的「虎式」（Tiger ARH）武裝直升機無償提供給烏克蘭，卻遭烏克蘭評估後婉拒，這款由法國與德國聯合研製的先進直升機，具備偵察、反裝甲及對地攻擊能力，但其高昂的維修成本、零件短缺，以及美國出口管制等問題，這批免費軍援可能反而成為烏軍的沉重負擔。 烏克蘭軍事媒體《Defense Express》9 月 29 日報導，烏克蘭駐澳洲大使米羅什尼琴科（Vasyl Myroshnychenko）證實，烏方已撤回取得澳洲虎式武裝直升機的請求。原本，烏克蘭早在 2024 年就對這批直升機表達興趣，澳洲也於 2025 年開始評估移交的可行性，但烏軍經過深入研究後，最終於 2026 年初打消念頭。 烏軍的軍武需求極為緊迫，連豹1坦克都成為搶手貨。 圖：騰訊網《軍武次位面》 中國軍事觀察帳號《軍武次位面》指出，這批直升機並非毫無戰力的老舊裝備。虎式武裝直升機由法德兩國共同研發，採用大量複合材料打造機身，具有重量輕、機動性高等特色，能夠執行武裝偵察、反裝甲與火力支援等任務。澳洲使用的 ARH 版本還配備 30 公厘機砲及美製地獄火（Hellfire）反戰車飛彈，具備相當完整的對地攻擊能力。 與美製 AH-64 阿帕契等重型武裝直升機相比，虎式採取較輕量化的設計，航程與機動性都是其優勢。單看紙面性能，這款直升機足以為烏克蘭增添戰力。烏克蘭卻放棄免費送上門的軍援，原因就卡在「後勤維修」。 《Defense Express》引述消息人士指出，烏克蘭評估時考量了每小時飛行成本、備用零件供應、機體技術狀況，以及最終能取得的裝備配置。雖然澳洲願意免費提供直升機，但烏軍仍須負擔飛行員訓練、地勤培訓、維修保養與零件採購等費用。 烏軍突襲部隊最近使用黑鷹直升機進入紅軍城，殲滅滲透俄軍。 圖 : …
