I would amend your final statement to add “US” before Army.
My point earlier was, Boeing and Sikorsky will have many years of profit coming in from foreign military sales of Blackhawks, Chinooks, and Apaches. Many countries will never be able to afford a FLRAA, or a FARA.
Boeing Philly new product engineering capabilities however will continue to atrophy.
