Ekvador dobio dva polovna H225M...u ovoj godini ocekuju jos tri
Citat:On June 2, 2025, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo formally delivered the first two Airbus H225M helicopters to the Ecuadorian Army during a ceremony held at Fort Huancavilca in Guayaquil. The helicopters, registered as AAE-470 and AAE-471, are part of a $90 million contract signed in 2023 for five secondhand H225Ms.
Delivery of these first two units was delayed by approximately one year due to issues with payment disbursement during the governmental transition at the end of 2023, when the initial 50 percent advance payment was not made as scheduled.
Citat:The contract’s completion was facilitated by the current administration, and the remaining three helicopters are expected to arrive between August and October 2025. Initially built as EC225LP Super Puma Mk.II+, these two helicopters accumulated approximately 1,500 to 2,000 flight hours prior to their upgrade to the H225M standard. They received final maintenance, repainting, and military adaptation work at the Istres-Le Tubé Air Base in France, where they were test-flown with French civil registrations F-WMXP and F-WMXQ. After shipment to the port of Manta in Ecuador on March 5, 2025, the helicopters were transported by land to Guayaquil for reassembly.
