Less than a year after the contract was signed, Airbus Helicopters has delivered the first of up to 82 H145M helicopters ordered by Germany, with the handover taking place at its Donauwörth facility. The German Armed Forces, or Bundeswehr, have designated the new helicopters as “Leichter Kampfhubschrauber” (Light Combat Helicopter), abbreviated as LKH. The H145M is intended for a variety of missions, including training, reconnaissance, special forces operations, and light attack roles.
