The Royal Navy of Morocco received BELL 412EPI anti-submarine helicopters in July, reinforcing the country’s air force. The Royal Navy’s multi-mission frigates are now equipped with helicopters for any operation desired.

This was announced on FAR Morocco’s Facebook page, an unofficial account sharing the latest updates on the Moroccan army force.

The Bell 412 is a utility helicopter of the Huey family manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It differs from its predecessor the Bell 212 by its four-blade main rotor.

These helicopters can carry up to 13 passengers with one or two pilots.
The Bell 412 is mainly used for public safety purposes, from search and rescues to evacuations.

The aircrafts received will support Morocco’s responsibilities in the area of air reinforcement and aid in its operations.

Morocco received the Bell-412 EPI, a modern and improved version of the Bell-212 EPI.

The version of the helicopter acquired by the Royal Armed Forces is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PT6T-9 Twin-Pac engines which provide 15% more power than a standard engine.

The Bell 412EPI has an impeccable reputation of reliability in some of the most extreme climates, with a versatile cabin that accommodates an array of options to suit any specific mission needs.
