The Sisu XA-200 series is much improved version of the previous XA-180. It looks little different from older models. The XA-203 armored personnel carrier is in service with Finland. It replaced the oldest XA-185 series APCs as an interim vehicle, until more Patria AMV are available. Other operators are Norway and Sweden (designated as the XA-203S). Early production version, the XA-188 is in service with the Netherlands.
This APC has improved armor protection over the original series. Armor upgrade was initiated after it was realized that protection of the previous vehicles was inadequate especially during peacekeeping operations. According to some reposts the older XA-180 and XA-185 models could be penetrated by 7.62-mm armor-piercing rounds in certain spots. Protection of the XA-203 can be further enhanced with add-on armor plates. This appliqué armor is relatively light, however it provides protection from up to 12.7-mm armor-piercing rounds. Some sources claim that the XA-200 series vehicles with add-on armor can withstand 14.5-mm projectiles. This protection can be installed by the crew in field conditions.
The XA-203 can accommodate a variety of modular turrets and remotely controlled weapon stations. It can mount external weapons ranging from 7.62-mm machine gun for defense to 90 mm gun for fire su

The Raba H25 is an increased payload and extended wheelbase version of the H18. It is in service with Hungarian Army. The Raba's military trucks family is compliant with NATO interoperability. Vehicle has a planned service life of 20 years.
The Raba H25 truck has a MAN cab. Armor protection for the crew is optional. Vehicle uses a wide range of platforms for different purposes. It has a payload capacity of 13 t. This military truck can tow artillery pieces or trailers.
Vehicle uses a number of MAN automotive components. It is powered by a MAN turbocharged diesel engine, developing 280 hp. Some components and parts are interchangeable throughout the Raba's range of military trucks. Hungarian Army vehicles are fitted with speed limiters, set at 85 km/h. Truck intended for export customers have a maximum road speed of 95 km/h. A central tyre inflation system is installed. Vehicle can be airlifted by the C130.
In 1985 five European nations signed a memorandum of understanding covering a NATO helicopter for the 90s, or NH 90. The UK dropped out of the programme in 1987, leaving France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands in the project by means of NH Industries. This was established in France in 1992 to control a collaborative programme involving Eurocopter France (with NFT [Norway] as a risk-sharing partner from 1994), Agusta, Eurocopter Deutschland and Fokker. Stated requirements were 220 helicopters for France, 214 for Italy, 272 for Germany and 20 for the Netherlands, and it was anticipated that a first flight in 1995 would pave the way for deliveries from 1999.
The two initial versions are the NH 90 NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter) for the autonomous anti-submarine warfare and anti-ship roles, and the NH 90 TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) for assault transport, rescue, electronic warfare and VIP transport duties.
The NFH variants is being developed under Agusta leadership and its advanced mission suite includes a 360° search radar, dipping sonar, forward-looking infra-red, magnetic anomaly detector, and electronic surveillance measures and electronic counter measures systems.
The TTH variant is being developed under Eurocopter Deutschland leadership, with a cabin for 20 troops or one 2 000-kg vehicle. It can carry area-suppression

The SA 330 Puma was developed by Sud-Aviation to meet a French army specification for an all-weather medium transport helicopter. In 1967 it was also selected for the Royal air force and produced as a joint programme with Westland. Nearly 700 Pumas were built for at least 25 air forces and the type remains in widespread use.
The Royal air force Puma HC.Mk 1 entered service in 1971 and currently is replaced by the EH.101 Merlin. The basic SA 330Ba still serves in significant numbers with French army aviation. The ALAT's 130 surviving SA 330Bs have been progressively updated. The Armee de l'Air operates 29 Pumas, six of which in the combat search and rescue role.
The Aerospatiale AS 332 Super Puma was devised as a successor to the Puma. It first flew on 13 September 1978 and entered service as the military AS 332B and stretched AS 332M. Pumas and Super Pumas have been built under licence by IPTN in Indonesia. South Africa's Pumas were replaced from 1995 by the TP-1 Oryx, a Puma developed by Atlas that incorporates elements of the Super Puma upgrade, including Makila engines.
In January 1990 the military development of the AS 332 were renamed Cougar (later Cougar Mk I), renumbered AS 532 and accorded new variant suffixes, according to role and airframe (short- or long-fuselage). First flown in 1987 the Coug

The RC 665, known in France as the Tigre and in Germany as the Tiger, was planned in 1984 to meet French and German requirements for an advanced multi-role type for battlefield operations in the typical European scenario. After much deliberation Eurocopter received a contract to build five prototype/development helicopters in November 1989. Three were to be unarmed aerodynamic testbeds and the other two armed prototypes for the basically similar Tiger/Tigre anti-tank variants required by Germany and France (one prototype), and for a French escort helicopter variant.
The basic type is of typical attack helicopter configuration with an airframe built largely of composite materials and optimised for high-survivability over the modern battlefield. The first prototype made its maiden flight in April 1991. Three versions are being developed in two basic layouts. The ALAT requires 100 HAC (Helicoptere Anti-Char) anti-tank helicopters while the German army needs 212 UHT (Unterstutzungshubschrauber Tiger) anti-tank/multi-role support helicopters.
Both HAC and UHT share a common mast-mounted TV/forward-looking infra-red/ laser rangefinder sighting system for the gunner, nose-mounted forward-looking infra-red for the pilot and Trigat missile armament. The UHT may later be fitted with a turret-mounted 30-mm Mauser cannon.
The Tigre HAP (Helicoptere d'Appui et de protection) is b
