What’s the reasoning behind not basing the UH-72B on the new 5-blade 145? Had the -B been in development for so long, it’s too late to make that shift?

Is this meant to indicate that the US forces finally accept the fenestron? Not sure about this.
|
Really ?!
The USCG branch of the United States Armed Forces use the fenestron for 35 years now ! . |
True but until now the US Army strictly opposed it - on the 145. The Coast Guard might take it this way but the Army as well?

In 2012, Eurocopter offered to the US Army the AAS-72X+ (145 with fenestron) for the AAS program before this program was ended. |
Does the US Army operate a single Lakota with fenestron?

Airbus Helicopters Inc delivered the first UH-72B five blade Lakota to the United States Army National Guard.

Not qualified on type, but the 'green' PCR bolts certainly don't look to be in the secure configuration I've seen on other aircraft
