Airbus delivers first two H145Ms to Cyprus
On 26 March 2025 , Airbus said it had delivered the first two of six H145M helicopters to the Republic of Cyprus, with the remaining deliveries to follow later this year. The helicopters will be operated by the National Guard of the Republic of Cyprus.
Olivier Michalon, Executive Vice President for Global Business of Airbus Helicopters, said, “With hybrid warfare set to play an increasing role in future conflicts, militaries will seek versatile helicopters that can perform a variety of pivotal functions. In this context, the choice of the H145M is particularly astute and the Republic of Cyprus joins a large group of European militaries operating the multi-role H145M for a wide range of missions including training, special operations, troop transport and light attack. We are proud to hand over the first two to the Republic of Cyprus. We look forward to seeing them in operation in the Mediterranean region soon.”
About H145M
Airbus said that the H145M is a multi-role military helicopter that provides a broad range of mission capabilities. The helicopter can be reconfigured from a light attack role with axial ballistic and guided weapons and a state-of-the-art self-protection system into a special operations version with fast rappelling equipment, within minutes. The comprehensive mission packages include hoisting and external cargo capabilities.
