"Hello Guys,
NH90 N318 of RNeth. Navy had a badge of P843 Groningen coastal patrol ship on the right
side behind the cockpit. Below there were 5 other white stickers with a blue star and and crossed red bars on them.
Additionally 5 different numbers (125/300/325/128/1937).
Can somebody tell me the meaning?"


Really no idea about that?

Regards
Tommy

Those are 'kill'markings. The numbers indicate the quantity of drugs in kilograms the helicopter and it's crews confiscated from smugglers during apparently five antidrugs missions while on station in the West. 318 flew with these markings in May last year already, and possibly earlier. 324 had these kind of markings in 2017, and I guess there were more nh90s that did. Hope this helps..
