https://www.defensenews.com/air/2024/02/08/us-army-spent-billions-on-a-new-helicopter-that-now-will-never-fly/ US is reshuffling their helicopter programs but we can't?

Export market is probably the primary market. There is merit to having all systems in one portable platform too. If the system is quick in reacting then the disadvantage of all guns pointing in the same direction can be minimized or better turned into an advantage by not having separate sensors...

You don't get it. It is perfectly OK to be behind schedule when you don't have all the ecosystem elements locally made for many years. Mind you we are at only 80% local made at this point. The remaining 20% can drag you quite a bit. You need to navigate your way around obstacles and make the...

Not when this helicopter can be remade to operate on a carrier ship. There maybe issues about how many engines you can procure in a given period of time and the maker may want to keep those engines for some other customer while the domestic replacement engine is being prepared for the task. I...

Also the wish list probably keeps changing and you need to catch a point where the decision you make today is a little more future proof and you won't regret it. What is...

Just give them a good engine.

TAI always have the means to expand its engineering capacity. They even utilize foreign engineering teams. Harder and smarter they have to pick up pace.

IT is always best to deliver products in a timely manner, there are wars going on around the world and more is coming. It is always best to deliver in peace time; at war time you don't have the time to waste for the sake of industry practices.
