Photos: Mark Zerafa
The Royal Danish Air Force is the first European operator of the MH-
60R helicopter. Danish Sea Hawks are configured for search-and-
rescue missions, maritime patrol and anti-surface warfare operations,
and are expected to serve in the North Atlantic as well as being
deployed on anti-piracy deployments in Somalia. It is envisaged that
the nine helicopters ordered will be upgraded with anti-submarine
capability in the future.
Selected in 2012, deliveries of the nine examples purchased have
commenced last May are expected to be completed in April 2018.
