My Twopeneth:
Airbus & Leonardo makes lovely civil helicopters, well thought out. No idea whatsoever about military requirements. Just cos it’s painted green doesn’t make it a warfighter.
Boeing/Sikorsky. Able to design military in from the begining. Rugged.
I have no doubt the Puma replacement will be a european sham. Leonardo no doubt. Civvy heli painted green, fragile. No self defence, gun mounts cobbled on. Cockpit unfit NVG. Aircraft broken on first contact with troops.
I can see it coming…
