I just want to appreciate how hard it must have been not to just speak German while you two native German speakers are having to do English for the rest of us.
I've seen Finnish NH-90's flying during their urban exercises a while back, the sports car analogy is not far off, I was visiting my parents in their top floor apartment and they flew right over the rooftops, for a second I thought it was gonna smash right through the window, nearly spat out my coffee in the process of witnessing that display. They also did multiple landings near my actual house, right onto a football field, was cool watching them land in the middle of the night.
Living in student flats in Amsterdam in the 90s I once had a few Chinooks buzzing the flat which was an experience and a half. Not quite inbetween the buildings but it certainly felt like it.
As an American I’m always fascinated to see our European allies showcase their capabilities and training. I know they’re consummate professionals, but it’s always nice to see and compare. Thanks for video
First, I have to express mild surprise as I thought you didn't appreciate "Magic Carpets", but rather only fixed wing aircraft. Second, I am wistfully jealous as I have never been on an NH-90, but I enjoyed every moment of my time on UH-1H's, CH-47's, and UH-60's. Sadly missed out on getting to occupy the gunner position on an AH-1 because I had other work I had to attend to. I was pretty grumpy about that. Nothing like a rotary wing aircraft to get the juices flowing though, I felt a hint of it return as I saw you enjoying your ride.
While participating in a joint service (US) exercise, I was operating a mobile switchboard at the time as part of our unit comm support for the exercise. A German Officer was on the observation team. As your video displays, with the helicopter teams, he was professional, friendly, and a good representative of his nation's military.
Thanks Chris! Pretty slick machine. It does just about everything. The crews, strategic and tactical organization are all very impressive. I would want a coffee machine on board... which is probably why I am not in any military. 😊 Excellent vid.
Norway got really screwed by the NH90, it has been a disaster for us. They never delivered the crap in time, and we had to change over to the Black Hawk instead. NH90 is maybe like an Italian sportscar, pampering and being a garage queen. If you need something operational without 10x maintenance for each flying hour, the sportscar is not what you want. You want a truck.
Exactly the same for Sweden. We ordered them as the Helikopter 14 in 2001, and the first one wasn't delivered until 2015, 14 fucking years later. Thanks to this, we had to buy Blackhawks too, and i suspect we're going to ditch this heap of trash as soon as possible. Absolute catastrophe of a vehicle.
Norway went in with the wrong expectations. You had 8 helicopters (14 ordered) and wanted about 3900 flight hours. Not even the CH47 could do that. Realistically you would have planned for about 2000 flight hours.
Definitely a great video with lots of details. It's a bit smaller than I expected, somehow from pictures I imagined it taller and more roomy :D I'm honestly slightly envious on the pilot "Dennis" :D I applied for the becoming a pilot in the Bundeswehr, but unfortunately my eyes are too bad for getting into the sky :/
It looks great but not sure it will mature quickly enough... some nations are already considering other helicopters because this one does not seem to work the way they'd like to (expensive to operate, availability rate, etc...)
Fallschirmjäger, Gebirgsjäger und Spezialkräfte in einer Division. Ja gute Nacht. Und es heißt laufend wir könnten nix. Haha viel Erfolg im Kapf gegen die Jungs.
The NH90 is such a cool machine, I hope new iterations can make them competitive with the Blackhawk. It was sad that the ADF decided to retire them early.
great helicopter with top notch performance. growing pains are fixed, only problem is maintenance cost. at around $30k per flight hour that is significantly more than gen 4+ fighter jets (but cheaper than gen 5)!
@@MrFerreti those costs were reported by Sweden, Australia and Norway. These are lifetime costs which include all the many upgrades, spare parts that will need to be replaced after X amount of time, etc... There is no way that German NH90 only costs $4k per flight hour. That is probably just the cost of fuel. operational costs cover more than just fuel As a reference the Blackhawk is estimated at about $10k per hour. Obviously it benefits from much bigger economies of scale as well as being more rustic in its design (exotic materials, etc...)
Christoph, I really need to get you tied in with the Falcon Aviation Team here at JMRC, Hohenfels, Germany. The Commander of that team is a personal friend of mine (and we ride Motorrad together). Time for a JRMC Aviation video!!
@@lordtemplar9274 fair enough a frigate, but within a naval task group VERTREP is very important, and I would take Merlin any day over NH90 for ASW, only downside is that a Merlin costs more.
Thank you, good educational bit. And reminded how crippled my education was because we did not have an option for language classes. They did not offer german. Oh, they had somecrather limited french or spanish classes, limited because only one semester.
Excellent video! The NH90 looks good. In the past, there where numerous issues during development, do you know how they have been fixed? Can you dismount soldiers via ropes? Has the rear loading ramp been improved, so that fully equipped soldiers can walk over the ramp without damaging it? Has the NH90 a clearance for SAR missions over the baltic and north sea? Has the underbelly hook now the full capacity? And most importantly: how many are flight ready? The best tool is worthless if its not ready to use in times of need.
I cant answer everything for sure... there were and are issues, it is a typical german Goldrandlösung which means that it has to fit exactly the needs of the german army and is often overengineered which is often the biggest problem in the german armed forces. The NH90 can dismount soldiers via rope and I can say that the german army has no great problems with the rear ramp. The NH90 NTH Sea Lion is used for SAR primarily which is the navy varient of the NH90. As far as I know the german army has new maintenance contracts which improved the readiness drastically. The real problem is not the helicopter itself anymore but that there are too few of them. The german army needs a larger reserve. That is THE biggest problem in the Bundeswehr overall.
@@Quentifyy What a crewchief told me was that all the problems they had were with the Italian made parts of the chopper. So no "Goldrandlösung" there. We were taught that during medevac operations, to take the wounded in by the ramp, exit through the side door and wait there until we got a thumbs up from the crewchief to leave. If he pointed at the back instead, 2 guys needed to go to the back to lift the ramp manually as this was a common accurance. It is a race car though, totally different experience than a CH-47 or a UH-60.
I loved this video. If you can get more units to agree to this kind of interview it would be awesome. There are so many European units that are almost entirely unknown.
The German military makes English language training a compulsory requirement for officers (he only interviewed officers except one senior NCO, who would also have had to do English language training for that rank level) as English is the standard NATO language.
It would be really cool to see if you could produce a similar video with a unit that operates the H225M, though I realise they are not in service with the German armed forces, so it might be difficult.
As an American and New Yorker I grew up in the shadows of the twin towers and my dad, an immigrant from Ireland, worked on the construction of those towers so I was deeply touched when NATO invoked article 5 for the first time and only time so far in its 70 year history. I am also a dual US/EU citizen and strong supporter of NATO, US and EU. Long live NATO, Slava Ukraine and welcome Finland and Sweden to the family. I support Ukraine joining NATO and EU.
@matthewrikihana6818 first off, people have died. Second, its not that we couldn't operate them fine, they did well during disaster relief efforts for example. It's that after years of using them we came to the decision, much like Norway and the Belgium, that they aren't worth the extra costs to keep them running. UH60M basically does 95% the same stuff, but costs a fraction the amount to actually use. Some nations have chosen to foot the bill and continue to operate it, while others have chosen to drop or reduce their fleet's and bring in other systems. Neither is an optimal choice, either you dump an expensive fleet early, or you pump more money than you might want to into it to keep it going. Australia made the first choice, as have other nations.
@arakami8547 no, the UH60M has full fly by wire. I believe you are confusing that with the recent announcement that some will be used for autonomous systems. But the UH-60M has full fly by wire and an entirely updated avionics system to match.
@@birdmonster4586 Pretty sure it does not. Early reports mistakenly said it would get fly-by-wire back in 2008, that was after 2 upgraded 2006 variant UH-60M prototypes were built with fly-by-wire. It's also often confused that its digital glass cockpit is fly-by-wire. It does not have fly-by-wire however, not the 2006 variant UH-60M principally in American service. It does have digitalized controls, though the flight surfaces still have mechanical linkages. In a sense it has limited fly-by-wire capability because of that, but not true fly-by-wire capability. Really it does not have fly-by-wire capability, it just has digitalized flight controls.
No New Zealand just likes flying trash ask Aus, Norway and Belgium 😂 I am surprised NZ has a helicopter force do they actually fly them or have 10 gathering dust in a hangar somewhere?
There are countries that simply can't handle sophisticated technology and Australia is one of them. There are plenty of other countries that adhere to the service intervals and operating hours and these things fly almost without any problems. Knowledge is power.... What's in it for you?
@arakami8547 yet they kept crashing, so they failed their basic design requirement. Blackhawk is a mature design - better suited to Australia's requirements
Blurring out the cockpit glass has me super curious why... Is there capabilities that needed to be hidden for 'clearance' reasons, or just tangential information (like maybe where they were operating)... When I look at birds of this type (like the US Blackhawk and other 'transport' helicopters), I dont normally associate it with 'top secret' weapons and capabilities...
It's translated to (American) English and the equivalent US-american rank to Oberleutnant is 1st Lieutenant, which colloquially gets shortened to just Lieutenant.

You might want to check your sources again. The NH90 was designed from the start as a medium-lift, military helicopter. NHIndustries is a partnership that was formed specifically to develop a battlefield helicopter for NATO, and the NH90 is its only product.
They only just adopted the 416A8 (G95A1) for regulars and HK433 for SOF. Like Dr Numbers said, it’s not an overnight process. Expect to see these issued to different frontline units one-by-one over the next decade, while the G36’s currently in rotation continue to be used by rear/support units. Look at how the United States are implementing their adoption of the NGSW platforms if you want a real-time reference.
Delivery is planed for 2026 and than Rapid Response and the Tank Batallion in Lithuania will get them first. And even than you have different times in Rapid Response when you will get them because first are KSK, Than the fighting Elements of the Paras because they normaly go in first and are normaly the Test Hamster and than the Mountainers before anybody else of the Brigade will get them.
