"Without stating the bleeding obvious that the H175M and AW!89 are less than ideal for what is expected of a true battlefield utility helicopter, and the obvious is the UH-60M/S-70i airframe! There is an old saying that 'one size' fits all with the 4/5 existing platforms. "

I would have gone with the Blackhawk. However the Ukrainians are showing that even helicopters designed for the battlefield are extremely vulnerable, not to mention tanks!!!!
Time for a rethink. .
