Germany also ordered some H215 airframes for SAR, though my issue isn’t the choice of aircraft, either H215 or H145. What disappoints me, is this spend on primarily German products, is no doubt part of the plot to lift German defence spending towards the NATO minimum, whilst enhancing a domestic capability which adds nothing, capability wise, to the NATO orbat.
Personally, I’d let Putin have Germany, rather than see another Brit, American, Canadian or other nationality soldier die on their behalf... because that’s where this will end.
