Here we go again, Australia believing that we lead the world. We buy a miserable 22 aircraft and demand a standard above the main users. I was at Oakey Army Airfield the other day and the precious heaps called the MRH-90 don't even have a door gun system!

I was told it was not part of our doctrine??? If we need one, the Italian mini gun system would be it. Imagine buying a "combat" helicopter without a gun! If we do buy the system it will take 5 years to qualify it for flight in the Southern Hemisphere.....
