Introduction: Recently a decision of the Australian Ministry of Defense has attracted attention to the fact that they have decided to decommission the European ***NH-90 and replace it with the American "Black Hawk". This decision may seem to be related to the crash of the MRH-90 into the sea, but in reality, it may be a gesture of goodwill by Australia to the United States. Australia has always been generous in arms deals, and has become the darling of Western sellers of military equipment. The NH-90*** project itself is an attempt by European countries to achieve autonomy in the military-technical sphere. NH-90*** has advanced technical indicators and protection capabilities, but for various reasons, it was abandoned. Next, I will describe the excellent performance and advantages of the NH-90 *** one by one, as well as the replacement potential of the American "Black Hawk" **.

1. A number of performance advantages of NH-90***

The NH-90*** is a versatile and versatile model that excels in a wide range of environmental conditions. It can fly in extreme climatic conditions and adapt to temperatures ranging from minus 40 to 50 degrees. In addition, the NH-90*** has a practical ceiling of up to 6000 meters and can take off and land safely in strong winds of 45 knots. It is also adaptable and can land on the *** deck of the vast majority of destroyers, as well as be transported by air by C-130 transport aircraft. In addition, the NH-90*** is highly protected against the fire of ordinary automatic rifles, and is able to fly for about 30 minutes, even when attacked by a 23mm cannon.

Taking it a step further, the NH-90*** can also perform a range of unconventional tasks, such as electronic warfare. For example, it can carry 14 soldiers or 25 tons of supplies for tactical transportation, and 4 tons of materials can also be attached to the outside. With changes to the interior layout, the NH-90*** can also carry 20 soldiers, or be used as a medical *** to accommodate 12 stretchers. The NH-90*** of the Navy model is equipped with a 360-degree search radar, giving it excellent combat capabilities at sea.

2. NH-90*** material and design innovation

For the first time, the NH-90*** uses carbon fiber all-composite materials for the fuselage, which gives it excellent flight performance and crash resistance. The main and tail rotor blades are made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic and nickel alloy protective strips, which improve the corrosion resistance of the rotor system. The main and tail rotors of the NH-90*** can be folded, which reduces the size and facilitates access to the cargo compartment of destroyers and transport aircraft. In addition, the NH-90***'s fuel tank is arranged under the floor, which is resistant to fall impact and self-sealing for safety. This advanced design and material selection gives NH-90*** a leading position in terms of performance and safety.

2. The reasons why Australia chose to retire the NH-90 and the replacement potential of the American "Black Hawk"**.

1. Australia's decision-making

The reason why the Australian Department of Defense chose to retire the NH-90*** is mainly because its MRH-90*** crashed into the sea. Although only one aircraft was involved in the accident, the Australian Department of Defense decided to decommission all 44 aircraft, which is a somewhat radical move. Such a decision may be aimed at courting the United States and strengthening military cooperation between the two countries. Due to Australia's own limited strength in the military industry, they tend to buy ** equipment from Europe and the United States, and become the main customers of major Western arms dealers. Such decisions may be made to maintain a cooperative relationship with the United States, or they may be to obtain more military aid.

2. The substitution potential of the American "Black Hawk" **

Australia has chosen to replace the NH-90 with the U.S. Black Hawk**, a widely used multi-purpose*** with outstanding performance and reliability. It can adapt to a variety of combat environments, including high temperatures, low temperatures, and adverse weather conditions. In addition, the Black Hawk** has a large carrying capacity and flexibility, which can transport a large number of soldiers and supplies. It also has a good performance in medical and rescue and can carry out emergency rescue and transport missions. Australia's choice to purchase the Black Hawk** may be due to the easier availability of spare parts and maintenance, as well as the closer U.S.-Australian military partnership.

Conclusion: Australia's retirement of the NH-90*** and the choice of the American Black Hawk** as a replacement may be motivated by a gesture of goodwill to the United States and the consideration of seeking military cooperation. NH-90*** itself has advanced technology and excellent performance, but it was abandoned by Australia for various reasons. When it comes to alternatives, the U.S. Black Hawk** has the flexibility and reliability to meet Australia's diverse needs. There may be more political and military considerations behind this decision, and we have no way of knowing. In any case, this decision, which will affect Australia's military development and military cooperation, will also cause concern and discussion in the international community.
