Sweden may ground NH90s over costs. UH-60s fly cheaper....

Post by Stratofreighter »

...yes, flying Blackhawk Hkp16s for certain missions is about five times cheaper than flying tactical NH90 Hkp14s,
it has transpired in Sweden...

ASW-helicopters may stay in service, the tactical TTH NH90 Hkp14s may be "under threat, though....


These are indeed a lot of links.
If copying information,
crediting the appropriate Swedish media sources should be quite easy...

NH90 operating cost 20000 euro per flight hour.

Black Hawk operating cost 4000 euro per flight hour.

ie NH90 cost 5 times more than Black Hawk per flight hour.

Must be the same for all countries who operate the NH90.
