Germany orders 82 H145Ms as ‘bridge solution’ to replace Tiger attack helicopters
Germany is to acquire up to 82 Airbus Helicopters H145M light-twins following approval from the nation’s parliament for the deal.
By far and away the largest commitment for the H145M – which comprises 62 firm orders and 20 options – the rotorcraft purchased through the light attack helicopter (LKH) programme will be operated by both the German army and air force.
Berlin sees the H145M as a “bridge solution” in the “light attack” role as a replacement for the army’s fleet of heavier Tiger attack helicopters, states the BAAINBw federal procurement office.
Germany had initially expressed interest in participating in the Tiger MkIII upgrade programme alongside France and Spain but never formally joined the effort, leaving a long-term question over its attack helicopter fleet.
Although the baseline H145M is not armed, all can be equipped with the Airbus Helicopters HForce modular weapons system allowing the integration of guided and unguided rockets and missiles, plus targeting sensors.
All Germany’s helicopters have fixed provisions to add HForce and it has ordered an undisclosed number of HForce systems for the LKH fleet.
Berlin will also be the first customer to receive H145Ms with an enhanced mission management system which includes the options for future capabilities including manned-unmanned teaming.
Covered by a framework agreement between the federal procurement office and Airbus Helicopters, the acquisition also includes services and support, eight simulators, training and spare parts.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin next year and run until 2028.
Germany already operates 16 H145Ms in the special forces support role, while eight examples of the civil variant are flown by the army for search and rescue missions.

Durante 5 días el USArmy ha realizado 8 disparos reales de misiles Spike NLOS desde Apache contra objetivos realistas, estáticos y móviles, a distintas distancias, desde cerca hasta más de 30 Km.
Se probó la pérdida intencionada de enlace con el misil durante el vuelo, incluso girando el Apache 180º tras el disparo para romperlo, para comprobar la capacidad dispara y olvida del misil. En un caso se restableció el enlace justo antes del ataque, y en otro se mantuvo roto todo el vuelo del misil.
También probaron su capacidad de desactivar su cabeza de combate en pleno vuelo y de corrección de trayectoria, es decir, si se sale de la zona de vuelo preestablecida, el misil corrige para caer desactivado dentro de la zona permitida.
