New Delhi, Feb. 2 -- The NH90 Caiman, developed by NH Industries (Airbus, Leonardo, Fokker), now replaces the Puma in ALAT. It offers advanced capabilities: digital fly-by-wire controls, composite structure, superior survivability, NATO-standard communications, FLIR, and night vision compatibility. As of mid-2025, ALAT had received 63 NH90 TTH helicopters. The Caiman is used by 1RHC, 3RHC, and 5RHC. Eighteen "Standard 2" NH90s with enhanced special operations capability are due for delivery from 2026 to 2029 for the 4RHFS (special forces regiment). These helicopters will include upgraded sensors, secure communications, and precision weapon capabilities.
