Comparison goes on buy off of ready project flying and EASA certified SW4 helicopter,
included in 4000 man power factory which produced waste majority of Mi2 for "Eastern bloc"
and made own development of W3A which was not winner on East side because of political-economic reason. Even before that most of produced AW139 airframes was sourced in Swidnik and W3A was about to be upgraded to SW5 project... in outline what remind to EC175 today....
BTW Regarding SH09, what is left of "Swiss" after Mr. Stuckl is pushed out? Even the same original No3 is still flying, with some dampers here and there...
