From what I understand, the H145M will arrive for the American, German, and Russian airlines via Serbia; I think Great Britain operates it at least as a training aircraft; Japan via Thailand; Italy via Hungary; France via France; and Sweden perhaps.
Weve talked about this multiple times so idk how you keep lumping sweden in with this. They dont have any ties to it. Give it up

A Swedish person saw a H145 fly once, add it to Sweden ASAP.

Lets keep this just for germany, since they already, unnecessarily share their only top tier heli with france. The H145M is a German heli, with unique German specifications, all the export variants are unarmed or only have a few rockets/mgs, so wouldn’t be suitable
Do these nations use ATGMs configuration on their H145M?

Nope, only Germany
Nope, only Germany is desperate enough*
Do they actually use the spikes on it or is it still under integration?
Eurospike and Airbus both claim that the H145m uses SPIKE ER2 so I assume thats the case, it can definitely fire them and carry 8
airbus was offering the spike for it and doing test fires in Hungary many, many years ago, and we have yet to see it on any H145M…
It is fully compatible and integrated for SPIKE, what’s your point?
2020 November aerodynamic tests with INERT pods
2021 November, with a live missile
yet 2022 February
Airbus Helicopters conducted H145M Spike missile firing tests in Romania. Integration of the HForce system follows
Just wondering if it is actually integrated or if they are still debugging it
Still nothing final for the ATGM version. Bundeswehr named the militarized H145M LKH (Leichter KampfHubschrauber) and its configuration is not decided.
There will be 4 or 5 mission profiles like anti-tank, spec ops, transport, SAR and close support. The chopper is planned in a modular way, it will be possible to quickly remove and add pylons + systems according to the planned mission type.
The ATGM version:
All we know is so far: Successful live fire tests on hungarian shooting ranges (you can’t test Spike ER2 in Germany). Also bad weather and winter testing in Sweden. This test chopper traveled around alot.
We know its flying around to test how it performs with 4 + 4 launch tubes. We also know MAW and auto dispensers were tested on it. There will be 20mm or cal50 pods and light ballistic protection for certain parts of the chopper.
We have to wait for the final service version. But its possible to guess what the final product might look like.
