The German Armed Forces have received their first Airbus H145M helicopter, part of an order for up to 82 units. This delivery marks a significant milestone in the agreement between Germany and Airbus, signed less than a year ago. The H145M, known as "Liechter Kampfhubschrauber" or "light combat helicopter," will serve various roles including training, reconnaissance, special forces operations, and light attack missions.
Stefan Thomé, Managing Director of Airbus Helicopters, stated: “We remain a reliable partner of the German Bundeswehr. Delivering the first H145M LKH in less than a year after the contract signature demonstrates our commitment. The H145M LKH will be a true multi-mission asset for the German Armed Forces, supporting their crucial missions.”
The initial unit is allocated for training at the German Army's Bückeburg base. Production continues with plans to deliver helicopters designed for light attack roles by 2025.
