In 2019, the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affaires (Ministarstvo Unutrašnjih Poslova) ordered three H215 (AS-332L1e) Super Pumas to be delivered as from 2022. The first one is is seen here returning from a checkflight to Alpnach where it underwent maintenance at RUAG Aerospace, a well known competence center for AS332 / H215 maintenance. The other two Serbian H215's both carry a camouflage paint scheme and registrations YU-HHJ (c/n 3107) and YU-OPS (c/n 3116). Note the external air conditioning unit just behind the co-pilot's door of YU-VIP, the appropriate registration revealing the helicopter's main task.
