Airbus has delivered the last NH90 Caïman Tactical Transport Helicopter to France, concluding a fleet expansion program that began in 2011. The 63 helicopters were delivered in a bespoke “Standard 1” configuration designed to boost logistical performance. Looking ahead, the French Army is set to receive 18 more NH90s in a more advanced “Standard 2” variant, with deliveries planned from 2026 through 2029.
