First flight of the German NH90 Sea Tiger

The first flight of the NH90 Sea Tiger will replace the German Navy's ageing Mk88A Sea Lynx fleet.
The helicopter is the latest version of the proven NH90 NFH naval helicopter, specifically designed as a state-of-the-art anti-submarine warfare helicopter. New features include a new electro-optical system and improved electronic support measures.
In addition, the Sea Tiger is equipped with underwater sonar, sonobuoys and is armed with torpedoes and missiles. In addition to reconnaissance and transport, the Sea Tiger's ship-based missions include the attack of surface and subsurface targets.

Will these be maintained, or will they sit in the hangars like the rest of the German Equipment?

Le meilleur hélicoptère dans la version marine avec des problèmes de jeunesse règlés.

Jetzt kleben wir drausen noch ein paar Seezielflugkörper und Brimstons dran, haben einen Kampfhubschrauber für die Marine geschaffen, nennen es einen Tag und trinken ein Bier. (So mein Vorschlag)

This beauty just flew over my house and I couldn't take a photo because of those damn clouds. I'm internally crying.

I maintain that Germany can make the best weapons in the world. America and Russia took over their weapons that they developed during World War II.

[Pacificoceanaz]

Nice helicopter, but probably expensive for using and maintaining.

[christopherkims]

The description makes one believe it's invincible! Well, I hope it's indeed.

Question I always wondered, why do (especially larger/military) helicopters mount their lift rotors on a minor slant angle? Is it to account for stabilizing with the weight behind it when loaded up or does it have a different purpose?

[pesetamaya]

Ah yes she's a beauty ain't she

[alexanderlagergren]

Surely it is called 'Zee Tiger'

[foxxy]

I like how when anyone sees the cross on German machines they go fucking mental 😂😂

[carycoller]

There's a lot of LEGO going on there.

[popptrp]

I love the way it has a spare wheel+tire compartment underneath. 😅

The NH90 helicopter has been plagued by issues including significant delays in delivery, high maintenance costs, complex software problems, poor availability rates, and concerns about durability, leading to some countries opting to retire their fleets early, with Norway notably terminating their NH90 program in 2022 due to these issues; Australia also recently withdrew their NH90 fleet, citing maintenance difficulties as a key factor.
