Late of last week (23th of May), #Sweden received its last retrofited #HKP14 \ #NH90.

So they have now their full fleet (14 helicopters) in FOC configuration.

#Sweden :

About their #NH90, by their Department of Defence :

"The #HKP14 system delivered effectiveness in its intended ground and sea operational role with all 18 helicopters in FOC configuration."

Surprise!

So long time lost due to too many customizations (incl. Tactical Mission System)...

He underlined the difference between a highly customized #HKP14 ( #NH90), facing to delays, lack of availability...

and a less state-of-art but off-the-shelf #HKP16 ( #UH60M) which he considers it is the best acquisition in terms of contract execution : on time, on cost, on quality, on performance.
