guess that mean the MRH-90 is now officially dead, apparently airbus was given 6 months to get their servicability rate to a decent level. Guess they couldn't manage it |
My assumption was the the MRH-90 was dead when the previous government announced it was making an enquiry last December, I assume this is the response to that enquiry. There is no corresponding news/announcement as yet on defence.gov.au
Presumably the last rites won't be read until the 'relevant information' has been evaluated and Messrs Albanese, Marles and Conroy may have a different point of view and also want to see concrete offset deal agreements. “The Australian Government is exercising its right to understand what options are available to provide the necessary capability at a reasonable cost into the future,” Minister Dutton said. The options will still be subject to Government consideration once all the relevant information is available https://www.minister.defence.gov.au/...ter-capability |

Word is that even though US approval is in place, Australian government approval isn’t. Lots of money to be spent across Defence, but not a lot of money going around and this isn’t seen as a high priority. At least it won’t be as expensive as the Submarine cancellation.

Things looking bad for the Mike “deal” |
How much money and other resources were wasted on the MRH-90?
Bad decisions by government always seem to find a way of being whitewashed and no one ever gets taken to task for those bad decisions. |

Bad decisions by government always seem to find a way of being whitewashed and no one ever gets taken to task for those bad decisions. The NH90, culturally, had zero chance of success in the Australian Army Air Corps. Whiners whinged and handbraked it from the start. Is it a good aircraft? Absolutely! Does it have the industrial might behind it like Blackhawk? No! Unfortunately, the negativity by the few (whom have stained the system for decades) have brought about a decision that no longer has the funds to follow it through. Will be interesting to see how much better the RAAF handles the capability of Attack Aviation capability of AH-64E and it’s associated increase in MUMT/Link capabilities along with the increased maintenance penalties and infrastructure compared to Tiger. Thankfully, they are equipped with the culture and attitudes to make it work. |

Considering the RAAF doesn't operate the Tiger, I don't think they'll have to worry about operating the Apache.
