This has and always was separate to NMH, these FOST helicopters are owned by a contractor, like the aggressor aircraft we also have on contract.mrclark303 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2023, 19:53If we keep watering down the requirments for medium helicopters by nibbling away at the core number, we may as well just lease a minimum number of Puma replacements off the shelf and be done with it....Little J wrote: ↑29 Nov 2023, 17:39 Interesting post from Gabriel, is this a sign that the AW149 has won NMH (as we all expected it probably would) or if something else wins, is it a sign that the MoD is going to add yet another type to the inventory instead of using some joined-up thinking (and we all probably expect this too )? I did also find it interesting that he says its basically between the AW149 and the UH-60... I wonder what is putting Airbus in third place for him?
Completely unrelated to NMH.
