Romanian Air Force IAR330M 77 at the Bucharest International Air Show (BIAS) 2019 held at Airport Băneasa

RoAF (Romanian Air Force or Forțele Aeriene Române) IAR330M 77 (c/n 128) of the Escadrila 862 Elicoptere at the Bucharest International Air Show (BIAS) 2019 held at Airport Băneasa (LRBS).

The IAR 330 is the Romanian-built version of the Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma helicopter, manufactured by IAR (Industria Aeronautică Română) Brașov. Despite being a COMECON and Warsaw Pact member at the time, Romania strove for some measure of independence from the USSR. Instead of buying popular Soviet designs, Romania bought a licence to manufacture the French Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma in 1974. The first licensed helicopter was flown on 22 October 1975 under the designation IAR 330L.Twenty-four helicopters were upgraded to IAR 330 SOCAT in cooperation with Elbit Systems (Israel).

At least 163 IAR330 helicopters have been built, out of which 104 were assigned to Romania's military, 2 were retained by the manufacturer and 57 were produced for export to Pakistan, Ivory Coast, United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Ecuador. There is also a search and rescue (SAR) version, fitted with inflatable floats for emergency landing at sea, which has been built in a small batch.

The IAR 330M NATO is a modernized transport version with the SOCAT version's avionics, but without weapons and optronic systems. Among others, it has a weather radar. Twelve IAR 330Ls were modernized to 330M standard between 2005 and 2008.
