An NH-90 helicopter comes flying over very low.
The Netherlands purchased 20 aircraft of 1 version of the NH-90 at the time, which are deployed in 2 roles:
- 12 examples as Nato Frigate Helicopter (NFH). These helicopters are an integrated part of the ship on mission. They are equipped with all systems necessary for the maritime combat mission;
- 8 examples as Tactical Nato Frigate Helicopter (TNFH). As a tactical transport helicopter they are used both on land and at sea. To perform the transport task, systems such as the sonar and the sensor operator's control station have been removed. This provides space and a weight savings. In the TNFH role, however, the aircraft is again equipped with a missile warning system for action over land.
