Germany Expands H145M Fleet to Support Bundeswehr Modernization Efforts
Germany has exercised an option to acquire 20 additional Airbus H145M light combat helicopters, bringing the total order to 82 units. The decision follows a contract signed in December 2023, which covered up to 82 helicopters for the Bundeswehr. The H145M is designed for a range of missions, including training, reconnaissance, and light attack. Deliveries are set to begin in November 2024. The additional order reinforces the platform’s role in the Bundeswehr’s future light helicopter fleet. This report was first published by AeroTime.
