The German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) have taken delivery of its first Airbus H145M helicopter (formerly Eurocopter EC145) out of up to 82 ordered by Germany. The H145M is a twin-engine light utility helicopter with a lineage tracing back to the MBB/Kawasaki BK 117 C1. Airbus, through its Airbus Helicopters Division, is one of the most important military helicopter makers in the world (and especially in Europe).
