The H225M Medium Lift helicopter is a modern multi-role helicopter that will replace the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)'s existing fleet of AS332M Super Pumas, which have been in service since 1985.
The H225M helicopter has approximately 20% longer range, and is able to meet the Singapore Armed Forces' lift and reach requirements more efficiently. With its high load capacity, easy cabin access, combined with fast cruise speed, long range and in-flight agility, the H225M helicopter provides the flexibility needed for the RSAF to be more effective and capable in meeting operational demands, inclusive of operations such as Search and Rescue, aeromedical evacuation and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief operations.
