Germany is to retire its Airbus Helicopters Tiger attack fleet in 2032, six years earlier than the 2038 date previously reported.

The Bundeswehr confirmed the retirement date for the Tiger combat helicopter (Kampfhubschrauber: KH) in its Annual Armaments Report published on 31 January. In May 2023 Reuters cited a Bundeswehr spokesperson as saying this would happen in 2038.

“The Tiger KH will be taken out of operational use in 2032. By this point, the fleet will [have been] gradually reduced to 33 [helicopters] by 2028, of which at least 24 aircraft will be in the Afghanistan Stabilization German Army Rapid Deployment (ASGARD) configuration until 2032.”
