PARIS --- The Saudi government last week agreed to purchase a total of 142 helicopters from France, in a deal that will modernize its military helicopter fleet at a single stroke and that, together with additional contracts to follow, firmly establishes France as the kingdom’s main weapons supplier.
The helicopter contract, due to be signed with France’s Sofresa arms export agency, will cover 64 NH-90 battlefield helicopters; 20 Eurocopter Cougar utility helicopters in Combat Search and Rescue version; 42 Eurocopter Fennec light helicopters; four Panther naval Search and Rescue helicopters; and an initial batch of 12 Tiger attack helicopters. The NH-90s are made by NH Industries, a joint company in which France’s Eurocopter has a 62.5% share, while all other types are produced by Eurocopter.
The contract also includes the provision of weapons, spare parts, training services and support equipment, as well as the construction of several helicopter bases, boosting its total value to well over 7 billion euros, sources say. It is the largest single arms export deal ever signed by France.
The NH-90 order includes 10 naval NFH-90s for the Saudi navy; 42 TTH-90 battlefield helicopters for the Saudi Army and 12 more for the Saudi Arabian National Guard, while the Fennec order comprises 30 helicopters for the Saudi air force and 12 for the national guard. The 12 Tigers will be operated by the Saudi Arabian National Guard, which is to eventually procure a total of 36 or 48.
A separate contract will cover an unspecified number of Airbus A330 aerial tankers, similar to the KC-30 that EADS, the corporate parent of both Airbus and Eurocopter, has offered to the US Air Force. -- Adeptitus 18:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC)`
"a joint company in which France’s Eurocopter has a 62.5% share"
What's this? French jingosism?!
The shares of NH-Industries are held by:
Eurocopter 62.5% Agusta: 32% Fokker: 5.5%
whereas Eurocopter is a 100% subsidiary of EADS.
Status on the Saudi sale? The NHI website doesn't mention it. Sometimes contracts fall through or at least end up being suspended for a time. MrG 71.208.24.153 ( talk) 01:25, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Is this a variant of the MH-90 Enforcer or is that another machine?
Someone has entered a claim that the NH90 is manufactured by Helibras as well as NHI. I cannot find any reference at all to this in the real world - this would only make sense if Brazil were an export customer - they are not. I am prepared to concede that as a Eurocopter subsidiary they may manufacture some components in the progamme, but until someone can provide a reference for this wild claim I'll place a "citation needed" on the claim and remove it entirely in 24 hours.

What is a primary user? The list seems a bit arbitrary (yes, it contains most of the big users but not for example Saudi. It isn't the founding countries either as Australia is part of it). Should the list be removed or renamed and edited (for example project launch countries)? Nasula ( talk) 13:44, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Operators map is incorrect. It has the UAE coloured in, when it should have Oman coloured in. Chwyatt ( talk) 12:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Doesn't this seem a little 'inadequate' for a Sea King/ Ch-53G & too large for a Lynx/UH-1D replacement? Since it appears the Deutsche Heer is buying them to replace the ancient Ch-53G & UH-1D & the Deutsche Marine is replacing it's Westland Sea King & Lynx. This is what Europe ends up with when consolidating all it's aerospace into a non-competitive monopoly. 96.238.134.140 ( talk) 10:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
This article is severely out of date. Is there any news on the NH90 for 2011? The progress on this helicopter is glacially slow. 96.238.128.115 ( talk) 12:52, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

The operators section is a bit misleading most of the information relates to orders not to actual numbers operated, anybody have a reliable reference to update the list. We should at least label most of them to indicate they are orders. In November 2012 only 128 had been delivered. MilborneOne ( talk) 17:55, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

18:16, 26 March 2013 (UTC)Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
