Didn't get that sense from the report. Just a matter of fact field report from a operator rather than another marketing spiel from a sales guy.
I/C,
I may have now a slightly different perspective. Polish Air Force/Army/Navy are in the process of changing their helicopter assets. The tender is now for 70 medium multirole machines, but more to come in the future. AW was chosen as the representative of NHI to promote NH90. It ended up (French press point of view):
Pologne : comment Eurocopter s'est fait rouler par AgustaWestland
We are now with S-70 vs EC725 vs AW149.
This is why I am just carefull about what is being published, as there may be more than meets the eye.
Regarding floor/windshield cracks, those problems were known for quite some time, and
AFAIK solutions were found, so I was surprised that nothing was done on Italian NH90s before sending them to A'stan. Maybe I got it wrong.
