This is a calculated release of "information" by a consortium of corporate interests involved in the development of Marine 1 v2. It was only last week that the NYT and other news outlets reported the overbudgeted, long delayed development status of the new helicopter. If you want to make a case to continue funding, just announce the blueprints and avionics (no reference if it was the latest avionics or some 20 year old equipment). Timing is everything.
