  Tigre Mark 3 : un contrat de plus de 4 Md€ en vue pour Airbus Helicopters

  Airbus Helicopters va certainement signer en février un nouveau méga contrat de plus de 4 Md€ auprès de l'OCCAr (Organisme conjoint de coopération en matière d'armement) pour le compte de la France (environ 2,8 Md€) et de l'Espagne (1,1 Md€) pour la modernisation de l'hélicoptère d'attaque Tigre. Ce contrat sera vraisemblablement découpé en plusieurs tranches. Le développement du Tigre Mark 3 « est acquis au plan politique avec l'Espagne », a annoncé jeudi dernier le porte-parole du ministère des Armées, Hervé Grandjean. En France, le ministère des Armées a programmé des engagements financiers de plus de 3 Md€ pour le programme Tigre Mark 3. Le calendrier de commandes et de livraisons du programme Tigre Mark 3 a été défini au lancement de la phase de réalisation. Selon les documents budgétaires, la commande de 14 appareils (sur les 67) en tranche ferme était prévue en 2021 mais a été décalée de plusieurs mois en raison de l'attente de la décision de l'Espagne et de l'Allemagne de s'engager sur ce programme. La décision de l'Allemagne n'est pas encore connue : à ce sujet, « le plus tôt sera le mieux » avait déclaré en novembre le PDG d'Airbus Helicopters, Bruno Even. Les Allemands, qui ont une flotte de 53 Tigre opérationnels, ont jusqu'à mi-2022 pour monter à bord d'un hélicoptère de combat, qui « n'aura pas d'équivalent, y compris l'Apache, sur le champ de bataille en 2030 et 2040 » avait estimé Bruno Even en avril 2021.
