Some on this thread have missed the entire point of BRH. Lift is best done by large helicopters. Medium is the next best compromise. The reason BLUH fell apart is that OA proved that small helicopters should not "do" lift as it is not cost-effective. Hence the need for a small,agile, recce helicopter. Whether FLynx will fit the bill remains to be seen - but it's as good as anything else out there for the money.
And whoever really thinks that UAVs are the answer to battlefield recce needs their head examined.
