Would any modern medium helicopter really meet the task? Modern types seem a little fragile in a lot of ways in comparison to some previous generation aircraft with software and sometimes hardware reliability being an issue with huge swathes of downtime.

AW149, H175, Bell 525, none with any real operational time under the belt with allied militaries and one that hasn’t even come to market yet.

NH90, not the most glowing of reports from current users
