The Armed Forces of Malta has received the last of its two brand new helicopters this afternoon.

The helicopter, an August A139 is a multi-tasking heavy helicopter that will augment AFM's capability in patrol and search and rescue missions. 

The newest addition was joined by the previously delivered similar helicopter as they were seen circling over Grand Harbour before making their way to AFM's Air Wing base at Luqa airport.
