Royal Air Force NH-90 helicopter.
Registration: N-164.
The Netherlands has purchased 20 NH-90 helicopters, which are deployed in 2 roles:
- 12 units as Nato Frigate Helicopter (NFH). These on-board helicopters form an integrated part of the ship on mission. They are equipped with all systems needed for maritime combat duty;
- 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 sensor operator control station have been removed. This saves space and weight. In the TNFH role, however, the aircraft is again equipped with a missile warning system for operations over land.
