Morocco’s Royal Air Forces received two additional H135M German Helicopters, reaching six now in its total arsenal, according to the FAR’s tweet on Tuesday.
In July, 2022, Morocco ordered 12 H135 helicopters from Airbus, which were primarily designed to meet the training needs of Moroccan pilots.
Airbus stated that the deal with the Royal Armed Forces also included the provision of a comprehensive range of support services, such as flight training devices, along with pilot and maintenance supervisor training.
Airbus Helicopters H135M is a multi-purpose light helicopter developed by Airbus Helicopter as a military version of the Eurocopter EC135.
It is a twin-engine aircraft and can carry up to eight people–including the pilot–and a range of military equipment. The helicopter is marketed for troop transport, medical evacuation, cargo transport, reconnaissance/surveillance, and armed combat support missions.
Over 1,400 twin-engine H135s have been delivered and are in service in more than 65 countries, backed by experience and a lengthy tradition. These adaptable rotorcraft have flown 6.6 million hours (as of 2022) with over 316 operators.
