Antonov cargo plane delivers NH-90 helicopters to RNZAF

Guess the NH90 won't be deploying anywhere in a hurry....will they even fit in one of the Hercs??

I still reckon NZ should get some UH-60 Blackhawks and they would look mint in NZ colours but I welcome the NH90.

Hmmm Our military just got a little cooler

[RustyX94]

What awesome looking helicoptors!

What will they be predominately used for?

[4lifeNz]

@RustyX94

Taking over the UH-1's role, so transporting troops, police ops, SAR, civil defence etc.

Also it's a light or medium attack helicopter,(i think medium from memory).

Also the bonus of it being faster, fit more troops etc

@4lifeNz Your are correct, the NH-90 is a troop transport/ Medium attack helicopter. Which increases our combat effiency hugely in the Air. Id be happy to see one of them flying above me when Im on exercise..... Only seen the Iro's, while pretty cool to ride in, not very comftorble and I always think Im going to fall out!

That is a very sexy looking bird!
