Airbus has announced that the Belgian army has obtained 15 multi-role H145M helicopters, with the country’s federal police also obtaining two helicopters plus three options on June 17, 2024.
The contract was signed between the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), on behalf of Belgium, and Airbus Helicopters.
“We are proud that Belgium is joining the growing community of H145M users,” said Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters.
“We are sure that the H145M will quickly become a key asset to the Belgian defence and security portfolio.”
The H145M is a multi-role military helicopter that provides a broad range of mission capabilities. The helicopter can be reconfigured from a light attack role, with axial ballistic and guided weapons and a state-of-the-art self-protection system, to a special operations version, including fast rappelling equipment.
Belgium is the latest country to join a growing list that are already using the H145M, with current operators including Hungary, Serbia, Thailand and Luxembourg.
