Syark Navy Force (SNF) - 1/72 Revell Royal Netherlands Navy NH90 NFH
















1/72 Revell Royal Netherlands Navy NH90 NFH

Happy New Year to all my blog viewers. New Year 2015 is the time to share whats has been stored in my inventory scaled model. This a new model kit from Revell that has been build up from Hobby Hq Malaysia Store. The new NH90 NATO Frigate Helicopter based on Royal Netherlands Navy NH90. Royal Netherlands purchase around 20 nos of this NH90 as counter part or additional to their Anti Submarines Warfare (ASW) and Anti Surface Ships Warfare (ASuW)  capabilities in the future to attach in any Royal Netherlands Navy Frigate.

In a typical four-hour 'relocation on call' operation, the helicopter would take: 35 minutes to reach the area of operation; 20 minutes releasing sonobuoys; two hours on surveillance in the area of operations; 30 minutes releasing torpedoes; and 35 minutes to return to ship and land, with 20 minutes in reserve.

In a typical four-hour 'screening' operation, the helicopter would take: 15 minutes to reach the area of operation; three hours and 30 minutes in the operations zone carrying out 11 consecutive cycles of ten-minute sonar dipping; and 15 minutes to return to the ship and land, with 20 minutes reserve.

In the anti-surface warfare role, the helicopter is capable of detection, tracking, classification, identification and attack of hostile ships, and has over-the-horizon capability. Secondary roles include anti-air warfare (AAW), vertical replenishment (VERTREP), search and rescue (SAR), troop transport and mine laying.
