USA/Germany, AHS-91G Kobra
The Airbus AHS-91G "Kobra" is an advanced armed reconnaissance twin-engine attack helicopter developed in 1994, based on the Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 "Comanche" and developed for the German Navy. The AHS-91 incorporates a 5-blade composite main rotor system, improved transmission, and a new target designation and acquisition system. The AHS-91G is part of the G-1.5 upgrade program, alongside the AHS- 99G. It is also called Kobra. incorporated stealth technologies. It is also intended to designate targets for fixed-wing air attack aircraft. The AHS-91 program was very expensive but well used, as it began research and further development of its future smaller brother the AHS-99.
Germany, AHS-99
In 1991 the German defense department issued a requirement for an advanced multipurpose battle helicopter. The joint project made up of MBB and Aérospatiale was subsequently chosen as the preferred supplier. Due to high costs, the program was canceled in 1998, but was relaunched during 2001. As a consequence, in November 2002, the supplying group received a contract to build 5 prototypes. Three of them were unarmed prototypes for testing at the radar signature, while the other two were armed prototypes: one for the adel heer anti-tank variant and the other for the pregnant naval variant replacing their type brothers.
AHS-91. Serial production of the Tiger began in March 2004 and the first flight of the first in January 2005. The delivery of the first of the 120 helicopters commissioned by the kriegsmarine took place in September 2005.
Germany, MFH-65 See Tiger
In 1991, the German defense department issued a requirement for an advanced multirole combat helicopter. The joint project formed by MBB and Aérospatiale was later chosen as the preferred supplier. Due to high costs, the program was canceled in 1998, but was relaunched during 2001. As a consequence, in November 2002, the supplier group received a contract to build 5 prototypes. Three of these were unarmed prototypes for testing on the radar signature, while the other two were armed prototypes: one for the anti-tank variant of the heer and the other for the carrier-borne naval variant, an armed reconnaissance helicopter with anti-aircraft capability ( MFH), in the most recognizable changes are the absence of a main gun, advanced radar and electronics configuration and a fenestron in the tail.
Germany, NH-90E AWS
The NH90 E is a medium-sized twin-engine multipurpose military helicopter built by Fokker Aerospace, the NH90, which can be manned by a single pilot, in its E upgrade, this navalized transport version, which offers the possibility of folding the tail and blades of the rotor to facilitate handling and parking on ships. the main purpose of the version is anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and anti-ship warfare (ASUW) as an autonomous embarked platform. These units are equipped to work both day and night, adverse weather and shipborne operations.
USA/Germany, E-2G Falkenauge
The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American carrier-based airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft with all-weather operational capability. It is an aircraft powered by two turboprop engines that was designed and developed between the late 1950s and early 1960s by the Grumman Aircraft company for the United States Navy as a replacement for the E-1 Tracer, a model that had obsolete in a very short time. The performance of the E-2G or its German version has been improved on successive occasions with the E-2G and E-2G+ versions, the main changes being radar and radio communications due to advances in integrated circuits and other electronic devices. The latest version of the Hawkeye is the E-2GS, which made its first flight in 2002 and incorporates an AESA (active electronically scanned array) radar.
USA/Germany, F/A-18G Wespe
The Boeing F/A-18G Wespe (Hornet) is a multirole, twin-engine, fourth-generation++ fighter of American origin with all-weather capability, to be embarked on German aircraft carriers in service with the Kriegsmarine. It was developed in the 1990s by the McDonnell Douglas company (since 1997 integrated into Boeing), based on the F/A-18E and F Hornet. The F/A-18G "Wespe" is a larger and more advanced evolution of the F/A-18E Hornet respectively. Compared to the original Hornet, the Wespe is heavier, has more range and has more weapons capacity. Despite this, it has been criticized for not having features that the planes it has replaced did have. The Wespe has an internal 20mm autocannon and can carry air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface weaponry and supplemental fuel tanks on external hardpoints. In addition to being able to be refueled in flight, it can also be configured as a tanker aircraft by adding supplementary tanks and the system to refuel other aircraft.
USA/Germany, F-22G
The F-22G is a fifth-generation twin-engine single-seater fighter aircraft conceived in the United States by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and Focke Wulf during the 1978s and developed in the 1985s using stealth technology. It was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities that allow it to perform missions including ground attack and electronic warfare. In its German version (G) it functions as an embarked wing on the Konig-class aircraft carriers of the Kriegsmarine for escort and air patrol purposes as well as reconnaissance and heavy attack in hostile and highly fortified environments.
USA/Germany, F-35G
The F-35G is the German naval variant, with larger and folding wings, larger control surfaces to improve control at low speeds, and a stronger landing gear to withstand conventional carrier landings. It is provided with a rear hook system to catch the braking cables and bars on the front landing gear to attach to the catapult of the aircraft carriers. This model is larger and heavier as it has a larger wing area, which will improve the flight behavior at medium and low altitude and increase the load capacity. The German Navy has 210 F-35G aircraft in inventory to replace the E and D models. of the F / A-18 fighter. In the future it will complement the F / A-18F / G Super Hornet, currently in service by the Kriegsmarine.

The Sikorsky MH-53G Super Kondor, designated HH-80G by the manufacturer, is a heavy transport helicopter created by the American company Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for the Kriegsmarine. It is the largest helicopter in service with the German Forces, and is in fact the largest US-made aircraft of this type to date. Developed from the CH-53 Sea Stallion, primarily by adding a third engine and electronic improvements, this new variant prioritizes heavy-lift transport and long-range search, locate, and minesweeping missions. In its large-scale improvements, it has new engines, new blades made of composite materials, and a wider cabin.

The Sikorsky SH-60(S)"Silent Hawk" is a medium-sized, twin-engine, four-blade rotor, medium-lift utility helicopter manufactured by the American company Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky Aircraft submitted the design of the Sikorsky MH-60X for the 2013 U.S. Army (Utility Stealth Tactical Transport) call for a stealth tactical transport utility helicopter. The Army designated the prototype the MH-60x and, after completing a couple of high-value, secret missions with very favorable results, it was chosen as the basis for a new project in 2015. The UH-60S entered service with the Army. American in 2017 as a new generation helicopter.
