Last November, the consortium NHIndustries, which includes Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo, and GKN Fokker, reached an agreement with the Norwegian Ministry of Defense to resolve a dispute. The group will take back thirteen NH90 NFH (Nato Frigate Helicopters) that Norway had removed from service early and pay the ministry 305 million euros in compensation. Now, the focus has shifted to what will happen to these helicopters. Some of the NH90 NFH may be returned to service in Malaysia. This possibility was suggested by the defense news website Malaysian Defence, which reported that Airbus Helicopters had offered at least four used NH90 NFH helicopters to the Royal Malaysian Navy. These would be "rebuilt to new" condition to meet the navy's needs for anti-submarine warfare. The Royal Malaysian Navy currently operates five Super Lynx helicopters and is looking to replace some of them with more modern aircraft. In addition to the NH90 NFH, the Royal Malaysian Navy is also considering other models, including the MH-60R SeaHawk from the American company Sikorsky and the AW159 Wildcat from Italian manufacturer Leonardo. The NH90 NFH would be upgraded to the NH90 Block I standard, also known as Software Release 3 (SWR3). This upgrade would include features such as the tactical link L22, a high-definition electro-optical system, modernized sonar systems, the ability to control drones, the MK54 torpedo, and the Marte ER anti-ship missile. When Malaysian Defence asked Airbus for more details, the company declined to comment on the discussions or acquisition plans, stating that such information remains confidential. However, Airbus confirmed its intention to offer the NH90 to the Royal Malaysian Navy, highlighting the helicopter's suitability for naval operations, especially in anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare. The company also noted that Malaysia already operates other Airbus helicopters, such as the H225M Caracal and AS365 Dauphin. Airbus emphasized its commitment to supporting Malaysia's defense modernization and its role as a key hub for maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for its helicopters.
