Germany is set to receive its complete CH-47F fleet within the next eight years. The German Ministry of Defense announced the acquisition of the CH-47F Chinook for 5.2 billion euros on June 1, 2022. These heavy-lift helicopters are intended to replace the aging fleet of CH-53G helicopters, which are nearing 50 years of service. The German Air Force expects to receive its first Boeing CH-47F Block II helicopter in 2027, with all 60 aircraft to be delivered by 2032.
