Cool new toy to play with

Remember, they had a BK117 many moons ago, which didn't fly too well after the engine door opened into the main rotor blades The machine is well suited to the task, looking at the photo the overload tank will help with endurance, but I'd expect a wire strike protection kit if they're serious about counter terrorism. Not much use going in tactical if a domestic power line takes out $4.5m
