Aside from its commissioned bigger air assets, mostly in international cooperation,
like the Airbus A400M and the Airbus A330 MRTT,
Luxembourg Defense will take delivery of 2 H145M military helicopters starting September 2019.

These are helicopters dedicated to national Armed Forces support role
and will be initially flown in a Police support unit,
registered as LX-FAA and LX-FAB, and based at Luxembourg-Findel international airport.

In coherence, Luxembourg Army is building up an Air Component within its headquarters.

With some effort this "platt-Deutsch" ain't that difficult to comprehend.
(that's is, if you master German ofcourse :mrgreen: )

And their language is called Letzebuergs, by the way. Platt-Deutsch mixed with French and some Flemish.

Luxembourg on 25 October 2019
received the first of two H145M helicopters
it has ordered from Airbus Helicopters in Donauwörth, southern Germany, for its military and police.

The helicopter was transferred to Luxembourg the next day.

Luxembourg ordered the two H145Ms in mid-2018,
for which Airbus Helicopters is also providing a training and support package.

The second helicopter is scheduled to be delivered before the end of 2019
and both will enter service in 2020, according to Airbus.

The two H145Ms will be operated and serviced at Luxembourg Findel Airport,
where a dual-use governmental hub is being established.
