Agreed after all they did similar with the Twotter.
Why do Chinooks and Super Stallions need freeing from their heavylift duties under operational conditions"? Isn't that their role?
Wouldn't a better and more modern solution be to simply buy more Chinooks and Stallions?
If the new Tarhe fills a gap that isn't covered now that's clearly a different matter but that doesn't seem to be what they said.

Bring it! If for no other reason that they make awesome firefighting helitankers. And as we saw last summer, we need more (and locally based) of these fine assets.

I would imagine it would be ideal for disaster relief lifting in generator pods, pump units and medical units.
