Articles have appeared in the media stating that 10 NH-90 Helicopters are to be ordered to support British Special Operation forces at a cost of £100 Million. I have to ask why? Putting the Chinook HC3 debacle aside couldn’t existing platforms be modified for the role, or couldn’t a number of the Chinooks on order be purchased for the role?
It is also stated that the SAS actually wanted the Special Operations variant of the UH-60 which they believe is a more reliable and proven platform.
