MG, they are certainly a capable cab, and when properly maintained (ie to our standards) are not deathtraps. Chinooks can be deathtraps too if not looked after/operated properly. Mi-17s would have filled a capability gap at a speedier pace than the new Chinny order. But I guess wastelands don't get there hands on the Hips, so theres no money in it for them
