Hi all, thanks for the positive feedback
Ok, I see the point, but I planned it as a kind of "wet" stern so you are close to the water for laying or recovering mines/ training mines or sth. like this.

PV-70 class


The version shown in my last post is the testversion of this ship. During the test runs (late 2014-mid 2015) she was armed in this configuration:


Since October the ship is used to support the SAR units in the Mediterranean Sea and to test the new A109 SAR helicopter under operating conditions.
The mission will end in late December this year. Then another unit is send.
Correct. They are not used in the airforce in early 2015. The first unit is tested since late 2014, also with the PV-70.


These helicopters are already delivered or will be delivered in 2015 (esp. the AW139). The BeLL 412 of the airforce are given to the home security
or sold together with older home security ones. The plan is to replace all BeLL 412 until mid 2016 and recive all new A109 and AW139 until
the end of 2016.
Sometimes you must have luck


Hope you like the new helos...also the first tug boats are on their way

I like that a lot, but why for medium transport use don't get the AW149?

Hi Rhade, thank you for the input

I thought about the AW149 and decidet to give them to the army. The navy and the VIP-service keep the AW139 because they don't need bigger helicopters!

Also see the first page for police helicopters police helicopters

And, the first tug: *not in active service, for actve tugs see page 6*
LS-25 class (LS= leichter Schlepper, small tug)

In which case, interesting platform to consider for it.

Good work Skyder.

Here I have a “but” … I´m not sure about the need/convenience of in-flight refueling capability on a law enforcement force. IMHO It would be ok/desirable for long range SAR/CSAR, but for a police force, it would be much simpler to just make a stopover on any heliport/airdrome/airport and fill up the tanks... And with a range of around 900 km I think they almost can cross the country from end to end without needing to do it ...

Also, right now, I don’t see any aircraft capable of transfer fuel to helicopters in your inventory… (although a couple of additional KC-130J-30 tankers can do the job)

Just my thoughts...

Well it does say 'military police' and that one has crashed could it be just cover for CIA/SIS style groups ?
(Who might legitimately need the range to get to sandy places they aren't really supposed to be ?)
