Don't forget that a significant amount of the EH101 is composite materials which don't handle impact damage well....
OK. So I was wrong about its future role as coke cans.
What is remarkable to me - generally speaking - if a military grade helicopter such as this is so damage intolerant doesn't really auger well for being deployed in combat operations. Certainly for land-based operations. Imagine if the old Huey couldn't be patched up in an hour or so and sent back out there amongst it
