Swedish Armed Forces Helicopter Wing
The Helicopter Wing is a joint helicopter unit in the Swedish Armed Forces. The detachment is subordinated the Air Force but serves the Army, Navy and Air Force equally. The wing is designated Försvarsmaktens Helikopterflottilj in Swedish, or simply Helikopterflottiljen (Hkpflj). The headquarters of the unit is located at the Malmslätt Air Station in Linköping. Its organization consists of four bases spread throughout three squadrons:
1.hkpskv at F21 Kallax (Luleå)
2.hkpskv at Malmslätt (Linköping)
3.hkpskv at F7 Såtenäs (Lidköping) and F17 Kallinge (Ronneby)
Fleet The Helicopter Wing is in the middle of a renewal process, where old already retired helicopters are being replaced by new types. There are currently nine Super Pumas (HKP 10) and twenty Agusta 109LUHs (HKP 15) in service. A total of eighteen NH90s (HKP 14) have been ordered, and a handful have been delivered this far. Fifteen UH-60M Black Hawks (HKP 16) have also been ordered, with the first delivery expected to 2012.
International operations The unit is highly committed in the arrangements for the impending international peace-keeping operations. The 1.hkpskv in Luleå is responsible for the mission training, which is performed in a fleet of recently modified Super Pumas.
From the morning of April 2, 2011, Sweden has one Helicopter Unit assigned to the ISAF operations (International Security Assistance Force) in Afghanistan. The unit consists of two HKP 10B Super Puma helicopters and their associated staff.
Available photos of the fleetThese are the individuals available in the photo gallery. They are not necessary all helicopters in the current fleet since we lack images of some of them.
Available photos of retired fleet membersThese are the retired individuals that we have in the photo gallery. They are not necessary all retired military helicopters since we lack images of some of them. The individuals are either withdrawn from service as the result of a planned retirement or due to an unfortunate accident (hence the presence of still active types).
