Clearly another example of the hypocrisy of the USG buying home grown US helicopters and not allowing foreign competitors any chance of winning.

Thinking of "The pot calling the kettle black," I don’t recall this very same company issuing a restraining order barring the UK MoD from awarding a £1bn ($1.63bn) sole-sourced procurement contract for Future Lynx (AW159) helicopters to AW without a competition back in 2006, nor when it was awarded a strategic partnering arrangement with the MoD the very same year.

As noted by the US Army, fewer platform types has its advantages, so good luck Airbus Helicopters.
