Royal Navy Wildcats to ‘unleash full potential’ in 2024
According to a recent press release from the Royal Navy, its fleet of Wildcat maritime attack helicopters is poised to reach its “true potential” in 2024.
Enhanced with new weaponry and technology, these helicopters are set to transform significantly after nearly a decade in frontline service.
Lieutenant Scott Sunderland, an instructor pilot with 825 Naval Air Squadron, expressed his enthusiasm for the upgrades in the press release. “I’ve spent most of my time with Wildcat in a period where we haven’t had any hard kill capability,” he noted. “But now, with these missiles coming online, it’s an absolute game changer.”
