Two of five multi-role H145M helicopters have been transferred by Airbus Helicopters to the Royal Thai Navy and are expected to enter service later this year.

The transfer took place during a ceremony on Friday in Germany, attended by a delegation from the Royal Thai Navy and Airbus Helicopters Germany CEO Wolfgang Schoder.

"After the H145M made its market entry with the German Air Force at the end of last year, we are very proud that the Royal Thai Navy has become another operator of the new H145M," Schoder said. "The helicopter is the most advanced solution for the increasingly challenging demands of our military customers in modern-day missions. It combines state-of-the-art technologies, outstanding performance and true multi-role capabilities while maintaining very high versatility and low operating costs."
