Singapore did not disclose how many helicopters were delivered in this first tranche, although Defense News understands that three helicopters arrived in Singapore last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The H225M is based on the Super Puma and looks broadly similar to its predecessor, although it is fitted with new engines, new avionics and an enlarged main cabin that Airbus Helicopters says is capable of carrying up to 28 troops in normal cabin seats, or 14 in energy-absorbing wall-mounted seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Singapore\u2019s H225Ms are also fitted with a nose mounted electro-optical turret capable of transmitting full motion video in low light conditions, along with a defensive suite believed to be made by Elbit Systems. Defense News also understands at least some of the follow-on aircraft for Singapore will be fitted with a dorsal dome antenna believed to house satellite communications equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RSAF says that the H225Ms will be used for a wide spectrum of operations, including search and rescue, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief as well as Maritime Security operations. Singapore\u2019s transport helicopter fleet is also regularly used to conduct aeromedical evacuation missions from ships plying through nearby waters, which are some of the busiest in the world for commercial maritime traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Southeast Asian island nation has also not disclosed how many H225Ms it has ordered, although its final number will likely be around 30 helicopters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Singapore has also ordered the Boeing CH-47F Chinook heavylift helicopter to replace the 16 older Chinooks it has in service. The first of those systems <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2020\/07\/24\/singaporean-ch-47f-helo-spotted-in-delaware-with-registration-data-suggesting-16-are-on-order\/\">are already flying<\/a> in the United States, with deliveries to Singapore expected later this year. Some of these will be assigned to a RSAF helicopter training detachment stationed in Oakey, Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Airbus-made H225M helicopters have
