Whether reconnaissance over the sea or transporting soldiers – the Sea King Mk41 multi-purpose helicopter can help Ukraine with many tasks, says the German Defense Minister.
The federal government now wants to support the defense of Ukraine with a delivery of military helicopters from the Bundeswehr’s inventory. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) has promised the country six Sea King Mk41 multi-purpose helicopters, accessories and spare parts packages as well as training for them, the Defense Ministry announced in Berlin on Tuesday. Ukraine’s supporters had previously met for consultations in the so-called Ramstein format.
“The Sea King is a proven and robust helicopter that will help the Ukrainians in many areas: from reconnaissance over the Black Sea to transporting soldiers. It is the first German delivery of its kind,” said Pistorius. For the protection of the Ukrainian population and infrastructure, air defense remains the number 1 priority. In addition, more speed in arms production is necessary. According to the Ministry of Defense, military supplies from Germany have totaled around six billion euros since the start of the war.
