Very interesting comment regarding the performance of the NH-90 and Tiger from the French Minister of the Armed Forces during the celebrations for the huge H160 order placed by the French Government.
Florence Parly came with gifts in her hood but also demands. She no longer wants to encounter the same difficulties with the “Cheetah” as with the “Tiger” and the “Caiman”. " In 2019-2020 three out of four "Tigers" were grounded due to maintenance problems, while the armed forces needed them badly in Mali ". Since then, progress, hailed by the Minister, has been made. “ In 2021, 37% of the fleet could be in the air at the same time ”. But the Cayman is still floundering. The maintenance in operational condition clause is now included in this new contract from the outset.
