At least 24 Tiger will be reached by the end life of 2032. All of them will be upgraded to the ASGARD33 version, which was developed on the basis of experience in Afghanistan. It is intended to strengthen the power plant, improve self -protection systems, add booking and data transmission. Tiger is now quite low due to operation and cost. The fact that Spain, Australia, France and Germany have helicopters in different configurations also complicates logistics.
As of 2018, about a dozen helicopters of 50 Tiger were capable of performing tasks. Therefore, the army aims to maintain more shock helicopters in order, and others will be given to spare parts. At the same time, the Germans concluded that the further modernization of Tigers to MK II+ or MK III is inappropriate because of costs and risks. The intermediate solution will be light shock helicopters H145M. However, their purchase will last longer than the output of the Eurocopter Tiger.
