Paris –
The Kingdom of Belgium will procure 15 multi-role H145M helicopters for the army
and two helicopters plus three options for the Federal Police.

The contract was signed between the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), on behalf of Belgium, and Airbus Helicopters.

The H145M seems smaller than the NH90. So I don’t understand why this is a good replacement for the NH90.

If I understand it correctly, they will replace the army NH90 with smaller helicopters and at at the same time think about buying big transport helicopters.

The navy will keep the NH90 and might even get one extra.
