History and use of the helicopter

The Westland Lynx HAS.3 was developed by the British company Westland Helicopters as a modernized version of the proven Lynx helicopter, designed for anti-submarine warfare as well as search and rescue operations. The first flight of the HAS.3 version took place in the 1980s. These aircraft were widely used during the Cold War and subsequently in military conflicts such as the Falklands War in 1982, where the Lynx HAS.3 proved to be an extremely effective Royal Navy shipborne helicopter used for reconnaissance, search, and destruction of both surface and submarine vessels. In addition to the British fleet, the Lynx was also operated by the navies of France, Germany, Denmark, and Brazil.
