Romania is gradually replacing its IAR-330 Puma helicopters with 12 Airbus H225M units, enhancing its military capabilities. The first contract, valued at approximately 757 million euros, includes initial logistical support and training. Deliveries are scheduled until 2030, with potential for local assembly of additional helicopters in Ghimbav. The H225M features significant technical advancements over the Puma, including increased power and capacity. This transition could revitalize the local aerospace industry and lead to further cooperation in helicopter production.
