Two Airbus Helicopters H-125, which the State Border Guard Service received earlier this year, were transported to the border guard units.

Both helicopters are currently used to train the flight crew and technical staff of Odesa and Kharkiv air squadrons. At present, squadrons are conducting ground training, theoretical knowledge testing and conduct study flight on new helicopters. These flights will also take place near the state border, so border guards will be able not only to master modern equipment, but also to simultaneously conduct aerial monitoring of the border.

It should be reminded that in the framework of the implementation of the intergovernmental agreement with the French Republic and the implementation of the investment project of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on creation of a unified system of aviation security and civil protection, Ukraine will be equipped with 55 new models of aircraft. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine will receive 24 new helicopters. At the same time, part of the flight and technical staff of the border guard aviation squadrons were trained to operate and maintain the H-125 in France at the Airbus Training Centre.

Considering the prospect of expanding the aircraft fleet, the State Border Guard Service invites pilots who want and are able to protect the Ukrainian border on modern and reliable helicopters.
