A Kuwaiti Ministry of Defence (MoD) statement saying that it had refused to receive two Airbus Helicopters H225M Caracal medium-lift rotorcraft on account of technical malfunctions has been denied by the manufacturer, which told Jane's it has received no such notification. On 12 February the Kuwaiti MoD said that, in response to enquiries made on the issue by national lawmakers, it was forming a "specialised technical committee" to examine the reason why a pair of H225M helicopters could not be accepted from Airbus and "to address the root causes... to prevent a repeat. The move was made out of complete concern for the safety of air force pilots and employees."
