So that'll be 13 years to bring into service a helicopter with about 68% of the lifting capacity of the well-proven Mi 26 'Halo' then.....

The Mi 26 was introduced into service some 24 years ago. And yet all Europe can do is to propose an expensive program which will have nothing like the Mi 26's capability some 37 years later?

Why??
