The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) has expanded the range of rotary-wing operations it can undertake as the service begins to phase-in its new H225M medium-lift helicopters.

The aircraft type was ordered by Singapore's Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) under a contract signed with Airbus Helicopters in 2016 to replace the RSAF's ageing fleet of AS332M Super Pumas, which have been in service since 1983.

Delivery of the first H225M took place in March 2021. Since then, the RSAF has taken delivery of at least three more airframes, as noted by Janes during a media event at Sembawang Air Base on 11 February. The event was held in the run-up to Singapore Airshow 2022, which is to be held from 15 to 18 February at the Changi Exhibition Centre.
