The new light support helicopter for the special forces (LUH SOF, Light Utility Helicopter Special Operations Forces ), has been called the MBB BK-117 since this month - after five years in which Parliament, the Ministry of Defense and the German Armed Forces always spoke and wrote about the H145M helicopter , the name was changed without further ado. https://augengeradeaus.net/2020/11/h145m-heisst-jetzt-mbb-bk-117-sonst-aendert-sich-nix/
