Indonesian Air Force order eight additional H225Ms

The Indonesian Air Force has ordered eight additional twinengine multirole H225M helicopters as part of the country’s fleet-strengthening initiative for a combat search and rescue-capable fleet. Under an agreement between the Indonesian Ministry of Defence and PT Dirgantara Indonesia ( Persero), the 11- ton helicopters will be delivered to the air force upon reassembly and completion of the mission equipment outfitting and customisation by PTDI at its facility in Bandung, Indonesia. These additional helicopters will join the air force’s existing fleet of six H225Ms to perform similar combat search and rescue missions.
