Germany has pledged to send Westland Sea King helicopters to Ukraine as part of a wider raft of military support for Kyiv.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius made the announcement on 23 January, saying that six Sea King helicopters would be sent.

“The Sea King is a proven and robust helicopter that will help the Ukrainians in many areas, from reconnaissance over the Black Sea to transporting soldiers. It is the first German delivery of this kind,” Pistorius said during a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.

The minister did not disclose a delivery timeline for the helicopters.

The German Navy is retiring its Sea King Mk 41 helicopters in favour of the NHIndustries NH90 Sea Lion. Janes World Navies lists the Marineflieger aviation branch of the service as having 21 such helicopters remaining in its inventory.
