But a military refit/modification would probably have cost more than a new one!
Better leave it to the professional negotiators.
Let them ponder somewhat more over it.
Then they buy new H225M from Airbus and negotiate some futile counter orders or the promise that Airbus will not pull their wing fabrication from the UK.
(which they are not planning anyway)
If the UK would want like-for-like replacement, the H215M could be a better option.
