Moscovite, you make me laugh!
Yes, technically I suppose the Chinook could 'cut into its rotors' if their was a failure of the coupling gearbox but I don't think this has happened very often.
Look friend, every year that passes, your Russian helicopters stand a good chance of making more of an impact on the global market because your aircraft
are versatile. You only need to look at the UN - these days they use Russian helicopters almost exclusively.
Eurocopter's involvement with Mil in projects such as the Mi38 is going to expose your products to a wider market and if Mil go into production with the Mi54 then you can expect Mil to start taking a sizeable (relatively) portion of the medium twin market - especially in the developing world.
So - be patient and your helicopters will be all over the world!
