The Ministry of Internal Affairs will purchase 12 multi-role Airbus H160 and H145 helicopters for SMURD missions, rescue, and public order.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MAI) has announced the acquisition of 12 multi-role helicopters of the latest generation, including seven Airbus H160 and five H145, intended for SMURD missions, civil protection, and public order.

The General Inspectorate of Aviation has communicated that these aircraft will enhance air intervention capabilities and emergency situation management. The H160 helicopters will be used for both public order and civil protection interventions, while the H145 will be dedicated to SMURD missions and mountain rescue operations.
